Nvidia plans to boost presence in Israel with multibillion-dollar tech campus in north

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

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.
Very good analysis.
At least they aren't investing heavily in new stuff in Israel, like Nvidia are, I suppose.
Thanks for the great answer!

It's considered budget now. At $250 MSRP it's equal to the cheapest release by Nvidia

What's drawing them to Isreal? Is the local talent really that good?
Probably currying favour with Zionists in the administration.

This is a problem that Nvidia is capable of solving but they haven’t been interested in it for over a decade so I don’t see them starting now.
They actually recently open sourced a bunch of required infrastructure, and hired a bunch of the OSS driver maintainers.
It's all still pretty crap, but there's more hope now.
Well, that's good news for my desktop build, and bad news for my hope for the future, I guess.

If only ark went with dxvk rather than their half backed pilots that crash

Still a lot less than NVIDIA. Else we are going to have to wait for the Chinese stuff. Rumors are they have a 4060 tier GPU now.
We don't know how big AMD is in Israel because they keep it secret.
Edit:
Hey Downvoter, could you link the number of AMD employees in Israel? Because I searched and only found that "AMD doesn't list employees by region in their public disclosures." -

Sure, but I imagine that the volume thing still applies. I'm guessing here.

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.
Love to expand my business infrastructure in a country that’s actively perpetrating a genocide. Very cool.

crypto cucks?
That's right, I said it. It's a thing now

a touch generalizing maybe?
Maybe... But it is true. Nobody and I mean nobody is going to punish them for this.
