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.
I wasn’t really looking for a reason to not use NVIDIA but whatever

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.
a touch generalizing maybe?
Maybe… But it is true. Nobody and I mean nobody is going to punish them for this.
what constitutes punishment? not buying their products has to be worth something, right?
It does, yes. But I don’t think anyone will stop buying their products. Look at who they sell to:
- Gamers
- AI bros
- Crypto cucks
Maybe a handful of gamers will decide not to. But in large enough quantities and for long enough to make a difference? Nah. Not going to happen.
I have crypto and I play games and I will not buy Nvidia again
Most tech companies are evil let’s be honest guys
The most evil companies tend to send the most reliable and substantial paychecks, unfortunately.
Fuck Nvidia.
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. 😞
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.
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.
Love to expand my business infrastructure in a country that’s actively perpetrating a genocide. Very cool.
Cunts
What’s drawing them to Isreal? Is the local talent really that good?
The networking part of Nvidia (based on Infiniband) was originally an Israeli company called Mellanox. They probably already have a large footprint there.
Israeli investors in NVIDIA push the company to invest in Israel. Israel is one giant nepotism club.
Some deal with the israeli government if I had to guess.
Probably promised slave labor by the camp residents.
Oh cool so the next gen of nvidia cards will spy on us for Israel? In the name of stopping terrorist?
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!
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?
Of course, there’s a lot of free land up there!
Ew
