Dell Makes The Profits Up In Volume For Booming AI Servers
Get smart on it
Dell's datacenter business is experiencing dramatic growth driven primarily by demand for AI servers, with revenues increasing nearly 2.8 times year-over-year. The company is making relatively low profit margins on these AI systems but compensates by selling in high volume, while also profiting more substantially from traditional server sales to enterprise customers at higher margins. This growth is possible because Nvidia has allocated GPU supplies to Dell, making the company a key supplier for AI infrastructure in the United States and potentially Europe. The broader context is that Nvidia controls the flow of AI compute through its GPU allocations, giving it significant influence over which companies can capitalize on the AI boom.
