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.
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
yup! I have to say that my country has been a decades long disappointment to me.
They’ll eventually destroy nvidia, like they do to everything else they touch. Nvidia is just a tool to them. The US government is just a tool to them too.
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.
Israel has some of the most advanced desalination facilities in the world
They make such great use of our tax dollars.
If this was all they were doing, I’d agree
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…
They aren’t going to manufacture there. Chip manufacturing happens almost exclusively in Taiwan. That new building is just an office to design those chips.
A lot of maths goes into designing computer chips. You need an army of highly trained mathematicians and engineers for that.
And Israel is a really rich country that gets a lot of gifts and “investments” from people who want to show they aren’t antisemitic. They invest a lot of that money into the education of their citizens.
Israel’s universities are some of the best in the world. While US universities are on a steep downhill.
Israel is at the forefront of water purification tech. As long as they have energy they can make water.
