“Guess what folks! Building the infrastructure for all these fucking LLMs just got more expensive, with NVIDIA raising its prices by 17% for systems due to be delivered next year — an important designation, because it’s very likely that much of the revenue for said systems gets booked in this year”
Our reading, the sentence that was checked:
After a 17% price increase for systems delivered next year, NVIDIA will very likely book much of the revenue for those systems in 2026.
