GMI Cloud, an NVIDIA partner, announced on September 17, 2026, plans for a $300 million loan. The loan will fund NVIDIA chip purchases for its data center facility in Thailand. Tencent, a major Chinese technology company, is the end user for these chips.

This development points to increasing demand for NVIDIA's advanced GPUs and AI infrastructure components in emerging Asian markets. The chip financing reflects a broader trend of accelerated data center expansion across Asia.

The deal reinforces NVIDIA's central role in the global semiconductor supply chain. It also highlights NVIDIA's growing influence in Asia's technology sector.
