The latest NVIDIA chips have arrived in Saudi Arabia following new deals between Washington and Riyadh, according to Tareq Amin, the CEO of the Kingdom’s AI company HUMAIN.
“The latest state-of-the-art NVIDIA AI GPU chips have arrived, building on last year’s successful delivery of Groq. The team will be fully focused on rapid deployment, ensuring everything is up and running before the start of the new year,” Amin said in a post on X.
Amin shared photos showing boxes of the highly sought-after chips, writing: “Momentum like this doesn’t happen by chance.”
“It’s a reflection of ambition, execution, and a clear commitment to building world-class AI infrastructure at scale,” he added. “Exciting times ahead.”
HUMAIN is preparing to launch its first data centers in Saudi Arabia in the coming months, using US-imported semiconductors.
Amin has previously said his ambition is for Saudi Arabia to become the world’s third-largest AI infrastructure provider, behind the United States and China.
HUMAIN and US-based Qualcomm Technologies also announced a landmark agreement in October that aims to position the Kingdom as a global hub for AI. The deal is meant to deliver global AI inferencing services through what the companies described as the world’s first fully optimized edge-to-cloud hybrid AI platform. Under the program, HUMAIN aims to deploy 200 megawatts of Qualcomm AI200 and AI250 rack solutions beginning in 2026, offering high-performance AI inference services both in Saudi Arabia and internationally.
