Nvidia says it plans to build up to $500 billion worth of AI tech in the U.S. over the next four years. This includes making its new AI chips and supercomputers with the help of partners like TSMC, Foxconn, Wistron, Amkor, and SPIL.
According to the company’s blogpost, the chips, called Blackwell, are already being made at TSMC’s factory in Phoenix, Arizona. Nvidia is also building supercomputer factories with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas. These sites are expected to begin full production in about 12 to 15 months. The company said it has secured over a million square feet of space to build and test the chips and computers.
“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,” said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
Right now, most of Nvidia’s chips are made in Taiwan. But with rising U.S. tariffs and pressure to bring manufacturing back home, the company is shifting some of that work to the U.S. This move also puts Nvidia in line with other tech companies like Apple, which has also pledged big investments in American manufacturing.
Nvidia’s AI supercomputers will power new kinds of data centers, which the company calls “AI factories.” These centers are designed to handle large amounts of AI data and tasks. The company says these AI factories will create hundreds of thousands of jobs in the long run.
To make all this happen, Nvidia is using its own tech inside the factories. This includes digital twin software called Omniverse and factory robots made with Nvidia’s Isaac GR00T platform. These tools help design and run the factories more smoothly.
TSMC has said it plans to invest another $100 billion in U.S. chip plants, adding five more facilities. Meanwhile, Nvidia’s $500 billion plan shows how serious the company is about making the U.S. a major hub for AI hardware.
“The engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time,” Huang said.
