☆ Saudi Arabia expects to get access to Nvidia's high performance chips 'within the next year'
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-13 | by ( Natasha Turak | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Saudi Arabia is optimistic about gaining access to U.S. chipmaker Nvidia's high-performance chips, which would enable it to develop and operate the most advanced artificial intelligence models. It's a significant expectation given that the United States' strict export controls have thus far prevented the chips' export to the kingdom. Habib made the comments on the sidelines of GAIN, Saudi Arabia's international AI summit, which took place in Riyadh this week. It "will mean a lot" for Saudi Arabia to have access to the chips, Habib said — in this case, the Nvidia H200s, the firm's most powerful chips, which are used in OpenAI's GPT-4o. We worked hard in the past three years in building capacity, in human capacity, we also build data capacity as well.

Wall Street appears to have given Nvidia a mulligan. A number of positive headlines around AI demand have lifted Nvidia and other stocks that benefit from the adoption of the buzzy tech. "There's kind of a do-over in terms of what happened with [CEO Jensen Huang], what happened with Nvidia," Cramer said on "Squawk on the Street," referring to the response to its much-ballyhooed earnings report Aug. 28 . The Investing Club also has a stake in Broadcom, which like Nvidia had been punished after its recent earnings report.

The company is turning to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo for help. In a recent meeting with Raimondo, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger voiced frustration over the heavy reliance that U.S. companies have on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing , the world's largest contract chipmaker. Intel is currently building out plants in four U.S. states as it seeks to become more of a foundry business, manufacturing chips for other suppliers. It's an increasingly important initiative for Intel, which is getting trounced in the market for microprocessors. Concerns have been rising for years that China could invade Taiwan, creating a massive risk for the U.S. chip industry.

Nvidia 's wild price swings are having a strong hold on the entire market, and "insane" options trading in the chipmaker could be the culprit. While some believe Wednesday's advance was driven by CEO Jensen Huang's bullish comments about artificial intelligence , others think the action was mostly triggered by the explosion of short-term options trading activity in Nvidia. "I don't think yesterday's +8% ripper in the stock was fundamentally driven," Wells Fargo trading desk said in a note to clients Thursday. The desk pointed to a host of Nvidia call options that are set to expire on Friday, and which were the most actively-traded contracts Wednesday.

That continues a trend from 2023, when generative AI companies raised $25.9 billion for the full year, up more than 200% from 2022. The average round for AI companies is 140% bigger this year compared with last, the data shows, while for non-AI companies the increase is only 10%. Most venture investors are bullish on the potential for generative AI to eventually create big returns at the application layer. John-David Lovelock, an analyst at Gartner and a 35-year veteran of the IT industry, sees a big opportunity for generative AI in the enterprise. Yet, in 2024, only 1% of the trillion dollars spent on software will be from businesses spending on generative AI products, he said.

Investors were reacting to a weaker-than-expected jobs report that underscored fears that the Fed had mishandled inflation and pushed the economy right into a recession.
