Nvidia has confirmed “Globes” report that it has chosen the Israel Land Authority (ILA) area in Kiryat Tivon to build its huge campus that will accommodate up to 10,000 employees.
According to the illustration published by the US chip giant, this will be a large campus inspired by the design of the company’s new iconic headquarters in Santa Clara. When built it will be surrounded by commercial areas and restaurants with investment in parks and green spaces.
Yup. That really cements further that I will not buy Nvidia again.
I’d love to never buy from Nvidia again if RDNA 5 can live up to the hype. Current generation AMD cards are unfortunately not cost effective for the path tracing and compute workloads I run (Blender rendering, simulations, and certain ML models). Hopefully, AMD will offer midrange cards with strong compute capabilities that don’t have artificially limited VRAM. I’m especially excited about the Radiance cores: true RTX to compete with Optix.
OK so fuck Nvidia. got it.
On a more practical level, why???
It takes an enormous amount of ultra pure water to make a micro chip. There is a worsening water shortage in that area. This is the worse place to do this.
Also if you built it in the eu, you have easy access to a huge market and ready customers.
Also the Middle East is constantly immersed in war. If Iran wants to really hurt Israel just start blowing up Nvidia.On a purely practical level, this is really stupid. So the only explanations are politics, or they are being paid to do this. As to whom engineered this I have no idea.
Edit: The more I dig into it, the more this looks like evil bond villain shit.
Lot of Zionists in the Nvidia board and staff trying to tie the worlds most valuable company to the Apartheid state. They want Israel to be a strategic asset like TSMC.
it looks like Israel is paying them to do this. So yes.
More like US American tax payer is paying them to do this indirectly
NVIDIA doesn’t manufacture chips at all (TSMC in Taiwan makes NVIDIA’s chips), so this facility would presumably be for R&D, marketing, devising the next scheme to screw everyone over and increase share value, yada yada.
If Iran wants to really hurt Israel just start blowing up Nvidia.
That’d be a great way to get either Maduro’d or more likely Iraq’d unfortunately. War on nvidia is war on Trump.
Iran would only bomb it when attacked. The problem is that Israel is on a course to invade every country around them and be in permanent war forever. So building tech hubs there is like drawing a giant bullseye on the map
Those tech hubs are like body armor for Israel unfortunately. Most are American companies and the investments tend to be in the range of billions. CEOs of those companies have Trump’s ear.
Fuck you, Nvidia.
Again, whatever.
So a company led by a Taiwanese is supporting the genocide of a people by their bigger, wealthier, stronger neighbour… The irony is palpable.
Yearly reminder the modern Taiwan establishment was birthed by a brutal and repressive authoritarian fascist and their elite are not much different today.
BOYCOTT NVIDIA
well someone has a great eye for reading the room…
wtf - this fool out here actin as if building the sponge for all the worlds electricity wasn’t shitty enuf.
Ive been an amd fanboy since athlon blew away pentum 4s. Their bulldozer chips had a bad rep I never understood it
AMD, Intel and Qualcomm all have divisions in Israel too.
Intel has a fab there but aborted their large new Israel fab after the genocide started. AMD has some footprint in Israel too.
What really sets Nvidia apart here is this massive campus and investment during the genocide.
Fuck you nvidia.
Yet another reason to never buy NVIDIA cards ever again.
So now we have to assume that everyone using Nvidia hardware has an open backdoor for the Mossad. Very nice. Fucking lovely timeline.
There’s no US tech without Israel.
Intel also has a large Israel presence and they have had backdoors in their hardware before, though claim it was not on purpose. Interestingly, the vulnerabilities in the AMD equivalent were reported by an Israeli company. Perhaps AMD crossed them and this was vengeance, or perhaps this was completely independent of any Mossad agenda.
Qualcomm also has a history of working with Israeli companies on R&D, as well as acquiring some of them.
And if you thought “hey, maybe Apple, the only real competitor in the CPU space after the aforementioned, has no Israeli ties beyond just selling them products like everyone else”, well unfortunately Apple also has an Israel office.
Guess what, ARM itself has Israel ties so you can’t TRULY escape Israeli influence.
Short of RISC-V taking off, there’s no computing without Israel being involved in one way or another.
Israel is also behind some of everyone’s favourite apps, such as Waze, formerly known as FreeMap Israel.
Google has two offices in Israel, Microsoft straight up provides them military surveillance solutions and has a huge R&D office… And Oracle’s CEO literally vetted potential US presidential candidates for Israel.
It’s not just American tech companies either. If you do want to make your own chips, you’d probably use TSMC, which has strategic ties with Israel. ASML, the company that provides TSMC with the ultra high tech EUV machines also has an Israel office, though it’s not like you can make a backdoor with EUV tech… I think. But basically if you have a computing device of any sort, Israel has profited from it in some super minor way, even if it’s just 0.0001%.
TL;DR: If you use any major piece of software OR hardware that’s not open source, Israel’s probably had their grubby fingers in it.
Scumbag company considers scumbag country home…it’s a perfect fit.
Bye nvidia forever
