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.

      The Arc 850 is apparently a banger of a midrange card. The mid range, I imagine, is the sweet spot for volume and profitability

        It’s considered budget now. At $250 MSRP it’s equal to the cheapest release by Nvidia

            Well, the MSRP is fake because they don’t make nearly as many of them to keep the price at $250. This is because it’s a loss leader, Intel just wants people to buy them and establish a foothold in the industry.

            Of course, MSRPs are now fake by every manufacturer because reviewers review against it and gave AMD bad reviews when they released cards at real MSRP

            MSRP $700, card sells at $700

            Bad value!

            MSRP $550, card sells at $750

            Amazing value! Too bad they are selling out so quick you can’t get it at MSRP!
