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 someone who works with gpu deliveries and local ai… It’s impossible to dodge Israel.

    If your don’t want to support Israel. Your only choice is to not use AIs

    Ya. It’s disappointing. But there are so many foundries in Israel. I’m not surprised. This is also why I don’t believe in terrorists. If anyone really wanted to stop Israel. They would target their foundries. But no one would dare mess with capitalism on that level.

      The people the West labels as terrorists have been exploited and oppressed for generations. They don’t have the resources to get into Israel and perform meaningful acts of sabotage. Actions like that are better coming from the citizens of Israel who still have a conscience. They could look to groups like Palestine Action, whose sustained sabotage efforts against an Israeli weapons manufacturer lead to the closure of at least one factory in Britain, and led to Barclays bank divesting from the company. Of course, now Palestine Action are labeled as terrorists for that…

      Neither. Even before seeing this I had decided my next GPU will be AMD, just because of how crap Nvidias driver support is on Linux.

    I find it amusing people say they’ll boycott NVIDIA because they set up shop in Israel.

    1. they set up shop in Israel a long time ago (2016 to the best of my memory)
    2. all of their competitors also operate in Israel to some degree

    If you need discrete graphics you don’t have any choice. They all operate in Israel to some degree.

      It is not just about setting up shop in Israel. It is about building a megacampus while Israel is doing a genocide and is massively bleeding money.

      The “to some degree” is the difference. It went from Intel being the primary investor in Israel to now Nvidia. AMD also has some investments in Israel but they are marginal compared to the other two.

      Add that to the dangers of oligopolies. They can really just do whatever they want at this point.

      Intel set up shop in Israel long ago, but I’m still boycotting. At least we have AMD as an alternative.

      Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, is related to Jensen Huang; they are first cousins once removed. Hopefully she doesn’t closely follow Jensen’s beliefs, I just thought it was something worth mentioning.

      AMD and Intel also have presence in Israel.

      There’s plenty of other reasons to boycott Nvidia, but at this point you can’t avoid Israel just by avoiding Nvidia.

      I just need to figure out what the best AMD card I can get is which isn’t going to break the bank and be a sizeable bump over my 2070s then I’ll have no more Nvidia products in my home.
