Chip giant Nvidia (NVDA) has built its empire on the back of robust demand for advanced computing and artificial intelligence (AI). As AI continues to shake up the tech world, Nvidia is centrally positioned thanks to its graphics processing units (GPUs).
But as global tensions rise, the company is playing a high-stakes game, navigating U.S. export restrictions by crafting customized chips for China while dodging tariffs. Plus, Nvidia’s reach is stretching beyond Silicon Valley. The company recently struck a multibillion-dollar deal with Saudi Arabia’s Humain to power a 500-megawatt AI data center.
