NVIDIA Announces Exclusive U.S. Production of AI Supercomputers
NVIDIA has announced a major initiative to create its AI supercomputers exclusively in the United States. The company is partnering with top manufacturers including TSMC, Foxconn, Wistron, Amkor, and SPIL to achieve this goal. As part of this commitment, NVIDIA is dedicating 1,000,000 square feet for U.S.-based manufacturing and testing space.
Production of NVIDIA’s next-generation Blackwell chips has already begun at TSMC’s facility in Phoenix, Arizona. The manufacturing of supercomputers will take place in Texas, with Foxconn operating in Houston and Wistron in Dallas. Broader production is expected to ramp up within the next 12-15 months.
To address the complexity of producing these advanced AI chips, NVIDIA is collaborating with Amkor and SPIL for chip packaging and testing in Arizona. The company aims to produce up to $500 billion worth of AI infrastructure within the United States over the next four years.
NVIDIA’s AI supercomputers are designed to power next-generation ‘AI factories’ – custom-built data centers optimized for artificial intelligence workloads. This initiative is projected to create hundreds of thousands of jobs and strengthen U.S. economic and technological leadership.
Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s CEO, emphasized the strategic significance of this move, stating, “The engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time.” Local manufacturing will enhance supply chain resilience and meet the growing global demand for AI technology.
NVIDIA will leverage its technologies, including Omniverse for factory digital twins and Isaac GR00T for automated robotics, to design and operate these next-generation manufacturing facilities.
The development comes as the market for AI-related technologies continues to evolve. AI Agent tokens, which are digital tokens used to run or oversee AI services on a blockchain, have seen their total market cap remain slightly above $3 billion. However, the trading volume of these tokens has decreased significantly, dropping by nearly a quarter.
This strategic move by NVIDIA marks a significant step in the development of AI infrastructure in the United States, potentially reshaping the landscape of the technology industry.
