Question: Stacy Rasgon - Bernstein Research - Analyst
: We're good? Awesome, thanks. Thanks for doing this, guys. Stacy Rasgon, Bernstein Research.
Maybe one question, one tiny follow up. But just on the first question, the near term guidance, I think, had revenues up a couple of billion dollars
sequentially. It sounded like from your commentary on Blackwell though that the Blackwell sequential should be more than that. You talked about
it being better than you thought before, which is better than more than several billion, whatever that means, but it sounds like it should be more.
So I'm just curious what is going on with the rest of the business? Is there something around like near-term Hopper demand or crossover that we
should be aware of? Is it just conservatism? Like, how should we be thinking about the different components? Especially as now, Blackwell, as you
mentioned yesterday, I think, is now in full production and looks like it's ramping pretty strongly.

Question: Stacy Rasgon - Bernstein Research - Analyst
: The question is if, Blackwell -- if total revenue guidance for the quarter -- and I apologize to dive right into it like this, but it's been something I've
been wondering about. If total guidance is up a couple of billion and it sounds like Blackwell should be up more than that. Colette, maybe what's
going on in the rest of the business?
Question: Stacy Rasgon - Bernstein Research - Analyst
: I'm not asking. I'm asking you to describe your guidance for me. Does that make sense?
Question: Stacy Rasgon - Bernstein Research - Analyst
: Could you describe it again? I didn't exactly get -- I didn't exactly get a good answer on that quarter. We're going to ship Blackwells and Hoppers
this quarter. We're going to Blackwells and Hoppers this quarter.
Question: Stacy Rasgon - Bernstein Research - Analyst
: I guess I'm also -- just within that interest in what's going on with Hopper, because you said you were supply constrained on Hopper as well. Is that
constraining Hopper growth into the quarter? Or --? I'm just trying to figure out what those pieces are doing.

that yourself?
