NVIDIA describes how AI factories maximize return on investment through three attributes: productivity (highest throughput per megawatt and lowest cost per token), durability (GPUs like A100 remain in service for years, with extended depreciation schedules), and fungibility (running every type of AI model and workload across phases and locations). The post cites SemiAnalysis data showing Vera Rubin NVL72 systems deliver over 30x higher throughput per megawatt and up to 45x lower cost per million tokens than GB300 NVL72 on the DeepSeek V4 Pro model.
