NVIDIA and its partners are designing and building factories that will produce AI supercomputers entirely in the United States for the first time. The company has already launched more than 100,000 square feet of manufacturing space to build and test Blackwell chips in Arizona and assemble supercomputers in Texas.
NVIDIA also said that Taiwan's TSMC, the world's largest semiconductor maker, is already producing Blackwell chips at a factory in Arizona. At the same time, the company is building supercomputer factories in Houston with Foxconn and in Dallas with Wistron. Both locations are expected to begin mass production within 12-15 months.
NVIDIA emphasizes that key stages in the production of AI chips and supercomputers are packaging, assembly and testing, which will be performed by partners Amkor and SPIL in Arizona. In total, the company plans to create up to $1.5 trillion in AI infrastructure in the United States over four years, in collaboration with other market players.
"The engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time," said NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang. "Adding American manufacturing helps us better meet the incredible and growing demand for AI chips and supercomputers, strengthens our supply chain and boosts our resiliency."
NVIDIA predicts the construction of dozens of new gigawatt AI factories over the next few years. The production of its chips and supercomputers is expected to create hundreds of thousands of jobs and provide trillions of economic security for decades to come.
