Hey, so this thing with the Middle East and NVIDIA… kind of wild, really. Picture this: President Trump sealing huge deals over there. Like, who would’ve thought?
Alright, let’s dive in. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE… these guys are going all in on NVIDIA’s AI chips. We’re talking millions, fueled by oil money. Honestly, can’t say I saw that coming, but here we are.
NVIDIA’s kinda stuck with China backing off, thanks to the US playing hardball. But then, Trump’s flying around, meetin’ folks in Saudi and Qatar, making things happen in AI. I mean, he took Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s big cheese, with him. Jensen’s out there helping launch some state-backed AI thing—HUMAIN. Sounds intense, right?
They’re buying a boatload of NVIDIA gear. Over 18,000 Blackwell Ultra GB300 AI clusters. Yep, that’s the name. And they’re planning this massive AI setup that’ll need 500 megawatt power. Can you even imagine?
Oh, and AMD’s in on it too with a $10 billion deal. A whole lotta cash flying around. Meanwhile, this AI firm in the UAE, G42, is grabbing over a million NVIDIA chips. Like, a million!
Now, the US is cheering this on—kind of a swap from China partnerships to Middle East action. But here’s the kicker: US officials kinda freaked out about national security. Like, what if China’s lurking around and somehow gets these chips? Seriously sketchy.
Anyway, I feel like these deals are a big shift. Like, let’s see where all this “oil money” goes and what it means for the future. Fingers crossed it’s something groundbreaking.
