Abu Dhabi’s G42 seeking chip options beyond Nvidia, Semafor reports

Abu Dhabi’s G42 is talking to AWS (AMZN), Google (GOOGL), Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), and xAI to become tenants at its UAE-US AI Campus, and aims to diversify chip suppliers beyond Nvidia (NVDA), Semafor’s Kelsey Warner reports. Google and Microsoft, a G42 shareholder, are the furthest along in negotiations to offtake computing capacity, a person with direct knowledge of the talks says. G42 is also looking to AMD (AMD), Qualcomm (QCOM), and Cerebras Systems (CBRS) to supply some of the computing capacity at the campus, the person says.
