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.
Love to expand my business infrastructure in a country that’s actively perpetrating a genocide. Very cool.
Someone’s gotta create demand for stealing Palestinian homes. /s
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.
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.
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.
crypto cucks?
That’s right, I said it. It’s a thing now 🤣.
Of course, there’s a lot of free land up there!
Nvidia is actively seeking land to build tech campus in Isreal’s… sweats bullets … north… sigh of relief
I wasn’t really looking for a reason to not use NVIDIA but whatever

Oh cool so the next gen of nvidia cards will spy on us for Israel? In the name of stopping terrorist?
Most tech companies are evil let’s be honest guys
Which ones aren’t?
Man I really hope Radeon and Arc don’t fold.
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
Sure, but I imagine that the volume thing still applies. I’m guessing here.
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!
If only ark went with dxvk rather than their half backed pilots that crash
Cunts
Fuck Nvidia.
Cue to Linus.jpeg
I’m buying an AMD gpu already, you don’t have to convince me.
Amd is already in Israel.
Nvidia is already in Israel too. This would be a new campus.
What are AMD doing in Israel? I thought I had made a good choice going with AMD. 😞
Ew
Way overpriced and under performing consumer cards, shitty bloated drivers and now this? Matrox or Diamond come back plz.
S3: Am I joke to you?
3DFX: ☠️
That’s what we call an IBM move.
next gpu will also be amd
Some of Amd GPU work is in Israel.
i guess graphics will live in my imagination
Still a lot less than NVIDIA. Else we are going to have to wait for the Chinese stuff. Rumors are they have a 4060 tier GPU now.
We don’t know how big AMD is in Israel because they keep it secret.
Edit: Hey Downvoter, could you link the number of AMD employees in Israel? Because I searched and only found that “AMD doesn’t list employees by region in their public disclosures.”
That’s using a 3 slot cooler just to hit the performance of a GPU that was already underpowered on release. China doesn’t exactly have a clean record either.
True. And in all likelihood China will start opening Israeli hubs just as quickly when the Israeli investors start coming.
