Elon Musk's xAI will become the initial customer for a Saudi Arabian data center housing 600,000 Nvidia graphics processing units, according to an announcement made by Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang at a bilateral investment forum held in Washington. The partnership involves Humain, a company controlled by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund that launched earlier this year as part of the kingdom's sovereign artificial intelligence initiative.
Advanced Micro Devices and Qualcomm also secured separate agreements to supply processors for Saudi computing facilities, with AMD committing Instinct MI450 chips that could consume one gigawatt of electricity and Qualcomm providing 200 megawatts of capacity through its AI200 and AI250 data center products. The agreements represent strategic diversification by Saudi Arabia across multiple semiconductor vendors rather than dependence on a single supplier.
