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.

as if i needed another reason to avoid nvidia. unconscionable move here.
I was just reading Apple doing all of it’s Silicon R&D over Israel as well. Wondering what Israel is promising them to get landed with lucrative business.
Yup. That really cements further that I will not buy Nvidia again.
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.
Maybe they can use salt water for it? If they have to desalianate it one would think that would be a dealbreaker.
Tis a good question you ask. Why indeed. Just currying favor with the group that controls the superpower I suppose, what with the child fucking tapes Israel has on the president and a critical mass of politicians in the US and UK, and businessman and other swells. And whatever other blackmail.
I can’t think of any other reasons, other than currying favour with Israel.
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.
Wait, so excuse my ignorance here, if they are made by others in Tawain, what does nvidia do? They just program them then?
NVIDIA handles hardware design and software components, TSMC handles actual silicon manufacturing, and a third party handles assembly. This is the case for nearly all hardware companies outside of Intel, Samsung, and a few domestic companies in the PRC.
Israel is at the forefront of water purification tech. As long as they have energy they can make water.

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
yup! I have to say that my country has been a decades long disappointment to me.
The chips are made in Taiwan (TSMC), this is likely for chip designers, (and marketers and executives and sundry other hangers on of little worth), water is irrelevant. Evil on the other hand…
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.
Maduro was given up by venezuela’s military though. That operation was not possible, and indeed would not have been attempted, if the military hadn’t entered into an agreement to stand down, and given intelligence. Helicopters are vulnerable to multiple weapons systems they couldn’t reliably take out, not the least in one of the most protected places in the country with the country mobilized.
There is no question, the military is now the de facto power, overseeing the now puppet civilian government in selling out their assets, an old cold war template.
'As such, they would not be able to do that in Iran. What they could do, is assassinate their leaders, including the ayatollah. They have everything compromised more than Iran thinks too, they could. Only the US likely stopped netanyahu from doing so already.
As to invasions, it has a lot of mountainous areas, and is several times larger than Iraq, which is mostly flat. We could go through and blow shit up with impunity, but an Iraq style invasion is out of the question unless our leaders lose their minds quite a bit more. Not that they wouldn’t try anyway but not now they want to make war on America.
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
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.
Yet another reason to never buy NVIDIA cards ever again.
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.
They aren’t selling to the consumer directly though, they are selling primarily to governments and business. Given that Israel controls the US and many of it’s businessman, this will win them favor. The regular citizens will be victims of their consumers more than anything. AI will be put to all sorts of draconian 1984 kind of uses.
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.
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.
Yes. I wouldn’t focus too much on someone being able to tell which map you’re playing, and which color your car has in Need For Speed. It’s way more unsettling what’s in networking equipment. Or inside an Intel Management Engine, and the firmware blobs of all the computer chips. Or the software running on it.
Thanks for putting this together.
Ive been an amd fanboy since athlon blew away pentum 4s. Their bulldozer chips had a bad rep I never understood it
Well, they were slow as hell for one.
