The combination of Nvidia's chips and CUDA platform with CoreWeave's cloud and software means even old infrastructure can have an extended life at a premium price point, Intrator says, adding that a "vintage" 2020 architecture has been contracted through 2029. "Older generations of GPUs are going to have a longer useful life than anyone anticipated. They are going to contract for a longer term, and they are going to contract at a higher price," Intrator says. "We already are seeing that flow through our platform." The robust compute demand validates the company's business model, Intrator says. Shares are up 19%.(elias.schisgall@wsj.com)
