The company's data-center segments, which includes sales to cloud providers and enterprises running AI workloads, generated $51.2 billion in revenue — a staggering 66% jump year-over-year.

The company estimates a revenue of $65 billion for Q4 earnings.

"Compute demand keeps accelerating and compounding across training and inference — each growing exponentially," Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA said in a statement .

"We've entered the virtuous cycle of AI. The AI ecosystem is scaling fast — with more new foundation model makers, more AI startups, across more industries, and in more countries. AI is going everywhere, doing everything, all at once."

Despite the stellar numbers, risks remain.

Supply-chain constraints, U.S. export restrictions on shipments to China, and competition from companies like Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Intel are potential headwinds.

CFO Colette Kress said during a Nov. 19 earnings call , certain large orders were limited due to export rules, a factor that could affect growth in some international markets.

Investors are also watching whether NVIDIA can sustain the current pace of AI-related spending.
