The announcement builds on a partnership from Could, when Nvidia mentioned it will present Saudi Arabia’s Humain with chips that use 500 megawatts of energy. On Wednesday, Humain mentioned the mission would come with about 600,000 Nvidia graphics processing models.
Humain was launched earlier this yr and is owned by the Saudi Public Funding Fund. The plan to construct the information middle was initially introduced when Huang visited Saudi Arabia alongside President Donald Trump.
