Ownership tiers over time
Operating-capacity-weighted shares at each recorded snapshot. Dates are when the distribution was captured; the ownership evidence can be older.
42 snapshots weighted by operating capacity, from 2026-09-23 to 2026-11-03. 144 earlier snapshots weighted every recorded power figure and are listed under Snapshot values.
- Tier 1 — company has an SEC identifier or a parent linked through filing, registry or supply-chain data
- Tier 2 — parent linked through licensed ownership data
- Tier 3 — parent linked through other sources
- Tier 4 — company identified; parent unrecorded
- Data Gap — no company linked
Snapshot values
Displayed MW are rounded to two decimal places. Operating capacity counts operational records only; a snapshot taken before operating weighting began lists only the figure it recorded, every status summed. Download values (JSON) for the full inputs used to calculate the shares. Consecutive snapshots showing the same figures are listed once, under their first and last dates; the download keeps every date.

Sovereign programme
HUMAIN / Project Transcendence
HUMAIN and NVIDIA announced an initial 18,000-GPU GB300 cluster in May 2025. HUMAIN's November expansion targeted up to 600,000 NVIDIA GPUs across Saudi Arabia and the United States over three years. AWS separately announced up to 150,000 NVIDIA and Trainium accelerators for a Riyadh AI Zone. In July 2026, HUMAIN and Cohere announced at least 50 MW of dedicated capacity, expected online in Q4 2027. KAUST's operating Shaheen III GPU partition has 2,800 GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips.
Partners: NVIDIA, AWS, Google Cloud, PIF, SDAIA, HUMAIN, xAI.
Export controls
No export-control designations were found.
In November 2025, Commerce approved HUMAIN purchases equivalent to up to 35,000 GB300 chips, subject to security and reporting requirements.
Chip-specific conditions and sources
- H100
- Export authorization depends on the recipient and transaction; cloud access does not establish permission to procure the hardware.
- B200
- The cited HUMAIN approval specifies GB300-equivalent purchases. It does not establish a separate B200 classification or authorization.
- B300
- Commerce announced approval for HUMAIN purchases equivalent to up to 35,000 GB300 chips on 19 Nov 2025, subject to security and reporting requirements. This is a recipient-specific authorization.
Commerce announced the HUMAIN authorization on 19 Nov 2025; the approval is conditional on security and reporting requirements, with ongoing BIS monitoring.
NVIDIA’s May 2025 announcement described a planned first phase of 18,000 GB300 chips.
Sources: HUMAIN export authorization; NVIDIA’s planned 18,000-chip first phase, May 2025.

How the figures were made
Geography. Outlines use Natural Earth de facto boundaries. Distant parts may be omitted; located records outside the drawing are counted in its caption. Power circles use the same scale across countries.
Counts. Counts retrieved 3 Nov 2026. Operating capacity and ownership shares include estimated capacity; a campus figure recorded as its full build-out, earlier phases and second records are shown apart rather than counted. Sovereign programme ratios use government-only announced amounts where available; each ratio lists its numerator and denominator.
Corporate traceability. No company linked means no operator, site owner or hardware owner has been linked to the facility. The tiers do not verify property ownership or facility operation. Announced and under-construction figures are not counted here. Tiers classify the available sources for a company linked to each facility. A linked company’s SEC identifier can qualify it for the first tier without establishing a parent. Ownership relationships and their sources are listed on the facility and company pages.
Export-control posture. Recipient and end-use conditions can change the outcome of a transaction. Classification review: 17 Jul 2026. Access basis: no ratio; the sources do not establish this quantity. The cited authorization establishes a conditional procurement route for HUMAIN. It provides no calibrated measure of licensing friction or Saudi access to frontier compute. Commerce authorization for HUMAIN, November 2025.
Bilateral supply-chain partners. Counts include every tracked relationship; no dollar amounts are published for them.
Organisations headquartered here. Across all industries; multiple identifiers may refer to the same company. The record lists 4 distinct organisations with qualifying market-capitalisation or linked-record evidence, after reviewing all public organisation rows for Saudi Arabia; the source holds 167 organisation rows, including duplicate identities and rows without qualifying evidence, and the company register applies its own evidence scope. A type is shown only where the classification has been reviewed.
