Nvidia to manufacture AI supercomputers in the U.S

Amid the growing trade tariff tension between the United States of America and China focusing on advancing the U.S Nvidia manufacturing capabilities, Nvidia has moved to bringing AI supercomputer manufacturing to the U.S.

For the first time, Nvidia plans to manufacture AI supercomputers entirely in the U.S. and will work with partners to design and build the necessary factories, the company said on Monday.

According to the statement, the tech company has acquired over one million square feet of space to manufacture and test Blackwell AI chips in Arizona and to build supercomputers in Texas.

Nvidia has commenced Blackwell chip production at TSMC’s Phoenix site, and it is setting up supercomputer factories with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas. Large-scale output is projected to start in 12 to 15 months.

To support its packaging and testing needs, Nvidia is teaming up with Amkor and SPIL in Arizona.

The company noted that developing AI chips and supercomputers requires state-of-the-art processes in manufacturing, packaging, and testing.

“Within the next four years, NVIDIA plans to produce up to half a trillion dollars of AI infrastructure in the United States through partnerships with TSMC, Foxconn, Wistron, Amkor and SPIL,” the company said. “These world-leading companies are deepening their partnership with NVIDIA, growing their businesses while expanding their global footprint and hardening supply chain resilience.”

Nvidia stated that its AI supercomputers form the structural base of so-called “AI factories,” next-gen data centers set to drive the accelerating growth of the artificial intelligence industry.

In the near future, companies will build a large number of AI factories, each capable of tens of gigawatts.

Domestic production of these systems will generate hundreds of thousands of jobs and contribute trillions of dollars to long-term economic security.

“The engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia

“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 plans to integrate its AI technologies in creating and managing these facilities, using tools like NVIDIA Omniverse for digital twins and NVIDIA Isaac GR00T for robotics.
