During President Trump’s visit to Riyadh, NVIDIA and HUMAIN announced AI factories in Saudi Arabia of up to 500 megawatts, using several hundred thousand NVIDIA GPUs over five years. The first phase is an 18,000-chip GB300 Grace Blackwell supercomputer. In the same release NVIDIA said SDAIA would deploy up to 5,000 Blackwell GPUs for a sovereign AI factory.

Why it matters

The deal made Saudi Arabia a large planned buyer of NVIDIA’s newest chips, which still needed US export licences before delivery.
