Nvidia is actively seeking land to build a massive multibillion-dollar tech campus in Israel’s north, which is expected to provide thousands of jobs in what promises to be a major expansion of the US chip giant’s operations in the country.

The computing juggernaut announced on Sunday that it had issued a so-called request for information (RFI) tender to locate a plot of land spanning 70 to 120 dunams (30 acres) with construction rights to build a campus of 80,000–180,000 square meters. Nvidia is interested in buying land with “high accessibility to main traffic arteries and public transportation” around Zichron Yaakov, Haifa, and the Jezreel Valley areas. The tech titan has hired real estate consulting firm Colliers for the search and has set July 23 as the deadline for submissions.

    Nvidia is a genocide enabling company. They should be punished for this anti-humanitarian activity.

      Yeah that’s not going to happen. Gamers don’t give a shit. AI bros don’t give a shit. Crypto cucks don’t give a shit. And most importantly… the US doesn’t give a shit.

      Harsh but true.

          Yes. I personally haven’t bought Intel since they’ve shown themselves, or MS. And now I won’t buy NVidia (I have a good cheap GPU from them, though ; and they make FreeBSD drivers ; it’s unfortunate).

          I do use a PDA with Android with Google services.

        Linux users do though. If people keep moving from Windows to Linux they’re going to run up against the trash Nvidia driver support pretty quick.

        This is a problem that Nvidia is capable of solving but they haven’t been interested in it for over a decade so I don’t see them starting now.

        Expecting a major flood of new Linux users might be a bit of a pipe dream though. But the momentum is building. If we do manage to swing the market noticeably in that way, AMD is going to get a big boost over Nvidia in the gaming GPU market.

        I doubt that will really move the needle for crypto bros or AI farms, but it is something.

          This is a problem that Nvidia is capable of solving but they haven’t been interested in it for over a decade so I don’t see them starting now.

          They actually recently open sourced a bunch of required infrastructure, and hired a bunch of the OSS driver maintainers.

          It’s all still pretty crap, but there’s more hope now.

          All the AI racks are Linux based and are built on Nvidia graphics. Meta and Google were ordering iterations of GB200’s ranging from $2-4million per rack. (Did some diagnosing issues on racks/servers that failed tests after coming off the assembly lines as a subcontractor). So I’m afraid you are right about moving the needle there.
