Jensen Huang: Zionist occupation has become Nvidia’s second home
Nvidia has confirmed “Globes” report that it has chosen the Israel Land Authority (ILA) area in Kiryat Tivon to build its huge campus that will accommodate up to 10,000 employees.
According to the illustration published by the US chip giant, this will be a large campus inspired by the design of the company’s new iconic headquarters in Santa Clara. When built it will be surrounded by commercial areas and restaurants with investment in parks and green spaces.
I’ve hated nVidia since they killed 3dfx, never bought anything from them, apart from a couple of video chips in old laptops.
Yet, despite their best efforts into making themselves hated more and more every year, people still buy their shit at extortionate prices.
Other than a ‘technically true’ sales pitch regarding the gpu capabilities during a store product research/buying experience 2 decades ago where I gave my dad the green light for an hp prebuilt with a nV 7300, I’ve never purchased or owned their products, and after going on a deep dive of the downright evil shit that Intel has done followed by the same for nV, I’ve only used Intel when it was the only option, and refuse to entertain any notion of nV components. Whenever I get asked for suggestions for components for builds and upgrades, blue and green are off the table.
I’ve been using ATi since the 9600 (mobility), and AMD starting with the Athlon X2. I don’t care if their products aren’t as performant, or if they are less power efficient, or whatever else. AMD has only crossed me once, by promising a long term for TR4 and then only delivering for 2 generations (both of which I own cpus for). The prices are reasonable, the performance is as-expected for the cost and market segment, they don’t charge fees for their variable refresh rate tech or anything else, they support (almost all) platforms for many years. The only thing I could ask more of them is that they give me products for free and make me CEO.
AMD would have to be found of child labor and mobster tactics for me to look at blue or green with anything other than absolute disgust.
