Nvidia plans to boost presence in Israel with multibillion-dollar tech campus in north (www.timesofisrael.com)

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 big 3 (AMD, Intel, Nvidia) in the graphics space already have a presence in the country due to manufacturing and design capabilities.

It's a similar case with certain weapons manufacturing as well.

Israel has, compared to US, still cheaper human resources and probably no issue with security-minded limitations on technology transfer or whatever.

Is AMD at least a tiny bit better than Nvidia in this regard? 😅

I haven't done enough research to say for sure, unfortunately. I know AMD is far better than Nvidia in terms of not being as entrenched in AI development (which by extension, is weaponized for generating target information), and they're also better in terms of not being as proprietary (hiding everything behind closed doors), although that's not directly related.

So currently? I think they're morally better than Nvidia, yeah. But it's not a high bar to clear, and as their market share progresses, they may fall to the same practices that Nvidia was encouraged to embrace.

Very good analysis.

At least they aren't investing heavily in new stuff in Israel, like Nvidia are, I suppose.

Thanks for the great answer!
