NVIDIA has announced plans to work with manufacturing partners to design and build factories in the United States that will produce its AI supercomputers, referred to as ‘AI factories.’ The company has commissioned over a million square feet of manufacturing space in Arizona and Texas to build and test NVIDIA Blackwell chips and AI supercomputers. Within four years, NVIDIA aims to produce up to $500 billion worth of AI infrastructure in the U.S. through partnerships with companies such as TSMC, Foxconn, Wistron, Amkor, and SPIL. These partnerships will not only enhance NVIDIA’s supply chain resilience but also contribute to the growth of its partners’ businesses and global footprint.
Production of NVIDIA Blackwell chips has already begun at TSMC’s facilities in Phoenix. The company is establishing supercomputer manufacturing plants in Texas, with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas, expecting production to ramp up within the next 12-15 months. NVIDIA is collaborating with Amkor and SPIL for packaging and testing operations in Arizona.
The development of these ‘AI factories’ is expected to create hundreds of thousands of jobs and drive trillions of dollars in economic security over the coming decades. NVIDIA’s CEO, Jensen Huang, stated that ‘the engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time,’ enhancing the company’s ability to meet growing demand for AI chips and supercomputers while strengthening its supply chain.
NVIDIA will utilize its advanced technologies, including AI, robotics, and digital twin technologies, to design and operate these manufacturing facilities. This includes using NVIDIA Omniverse to create digital twins of factories and NVIDIA Isaac GR00T to develop robots for manufacturing automation.
