Annual revenue per gigawatt
Also known as revenue per GW, annual token revenue per utility GW
In plain English
This estimate asks how much token sales could earn in a year from a fixed gigawatt of datacenter utility power.
Technical definition
Annual revenue per gigawatt is modeled token-sales revenue over one year, normalized to one gigawatt of all-in utility power capacity.
Typical unit
USD per utility GW per year
Engineering details
At a chosen interactivity target, convert power-normalized throughput into annual billable token volumes using the utilization assumption. Apply the respective prices to cached input, uncached input, and output volumes, then sum their revenue. A gigawatt is a power allocation; the year supplies the time dimension.
Why it matters
The result connects serving efficiency to a power-constrained business model. It depends on demand, prices, token mix, and utilization as well as measured throughput, and it does not show profit until costs and any license fees are deducted.
How to read it in InferenceX
The Rubin article presents annual revenue at 75 TPS and 60% utilization. Its per-GW values are normalized estimates, not evidence that a full gigawatt deployment was benchmarked or that the projected token volumes were sold.
