🇸🇦 SAUDIS RUSH TO BUY AI CHIPS
The Middle East is pivoting its attention to AI, as both Saudi Arabia and the UAE are rushing to buy up Nvidia GPUs to power their planned models.
The Financial Times reports that the Gulf states are stockpiling GPUs in an attempt to join the AI arms race taking place across the globe. It’s like Wacky Races over here.
According to sources, Saudi Arabia has bought at least 3,000 of Nvidia’s H100 chips — a $40,000 processor described by Nvidia chief Jensen Huang as “the world’s first computer chip designed for generative AI” That’s $120M on graphics cards. Talk about an expensive PC build!
King Saud University is also reportedly building an AI Super Computer to train up AI models.
Welcome to the race, Saudi Arabia!
