Huang Renxun revealed the private life of the Saudi Crown Prince, who has dozens of top-tier computers at home and plays games without any lag!
One of the most mysterious and powerful figures in the Middle East, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, actually built an e-sports room at home? But the source of the information is not a tabloid, but rather Huang Renxun, CEO of NVIDIA. At a public event, he revealed that the Crown Prince is not only a dedicated gamer, but also has "dozens of top-tier PCs" at home, all of which are clearly equipped with NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards.
In 2022, the Saudi sovereign wealth fund PIF made a big investment by acquiring shares in several game companies such as Activision Blizzard and Nintendo; in 2023, it also established Savvy Games Group, planning to invest 3.8 billion US dollars to create a global gaming industry giant. From policy to capital, Saudi Arabia's attitude towards gaming has long ceased to be "entertainment," but has become a national strategy.
Does the Crown Prince really love playing computer games? In fact, there are traces. As early as 2018, media reports indicated that he often played "Call of Duty" in his spare time; in 2022, he personally attended the Gamers8 e-sports festival held in Riyadh - this event later upgraded into an annual "Riyadh E-Sports World Cup," with a prize pool of tens of millions of dollars, attracting top teams from around the world. These are not actions that can be sustained by mere showmanship, indicating that his understanding of gaming culture goes far beyond that of ordinary officials.
Now let's look at the "dozens of top-tier PCs" mentioned by Huang Renxun. This is not hyperbolic rhetoric. High-end games require extremely high hardware, especially features like 4K resolution, high frame rates, and real-time ray tracing, which are almost exclusively supported by NVIDIA's flagship GeForce RTX series. If the Crown Prince indeed has such equipment at home as Huang Renxun said, then it is not just a personal hobby, but also a technical test field - imagine, a person who controls billions of dollars in sovereign wealth funds, personally using consumer-grade graphics cards to play games, is itself the most direct endorsement of product performance.
