Where is the source for how many wafers nvidia buys? That's usually confidential information.

Well, it's bounded above by how many GPUs are sold, no?

I suppose could estimate if I knew the number of GPUs sold but I've only seen estimates of that. As far as I know nVidia doesn't give their shipment numbers.
