Sure thing, here’s a revamped version of the article:
Okay, where to even begin with this one? So, apparently, the Middle East is suddenly the cool kid on the block for NVIDIA and other AI big shots. I mean, who would’ve thought? But then again, President Trump signs off on these ginormous deals with them, so it starts to make some sense. Maybe.
The Middle East Throwing Down Big Bucks for NVIDIA AI Chips: What’s Happening?
Ever get the feeling that NVIDIA is kinda having a love-hate thing with China lately? They’re crucial to NVIDIA’s revenue, no doubt. But—cue dramatic music—the US is kinda side-eyeing this whole arrangement. Enter Trump, doing his diplomatic whirlwind tour through places like Saudi Arabia and Qatar. And guess what? These guys are throwing "billions"—yeah, billions—into AI. I suppose it’s a big win for NVIDIA, AMD, and their pals.
Trump and Jensen Huang, the big brain behind NVIDIA, were seen doing their thing in Saudi Arabia. Get this: they revealed this shiny new AI firm called HUMAIN (creative, right?). Apparently, they’re in line for billion-dollar contracts to snag NVIDIA and AMD’s AI gadgets. We’re talking over 18,000 of NVIDIA’s really fancy Blackwell Ultra GB300 AI clusters! Gotta admit, the scale’s kinda mind-blowing. HUMAIN’s planning this wild, half-a-gigawatt AI setup over five years. Insanity.
Picture this: Tens of billions in deals, with Saudi Arabia at the helm. And then—because why not?—Trump swings by the UAE. There’s this place, G42, ready to nab a million NVIDIA chips over the next decade. Honestly, it feels like some mad game of AI chess, with the US hoping to cozy up elsewhere besides China. Can you really blame them? Oil money does sound kinda inviting.
But, of course, there’s always a "but." The folks over at Bloomberg ran with a scoop that US officials are a wee bit twitchy about Trump jumping headfirst into these AI deals. Their main scare? National security. I can see why they’d be freaking out about selling all these chips—what if it leaves the US eating AI dust? Or—gasp!—if China sneaks a peek somehow despite those US bans? It’s like we’re in a spy novel or something.
Anyway, who knows how it’ll all shake out? The whole scenario feels like it’s straight out of a movie. But hey, welcome to global tech politics—grab some popcorn!
