Nvidia to Manufacture AI Supercomputers in the US

Nvidia plans to produce up to $500 billion worth of AI infrastructure in the US over the next four years. The company plans to achieve that through partnerships with TSMC, Foxconn, Wistron, Amkor Technology, and Siliconware Precision Industries.

Outlining an ambition to design and build factories to produce AI supercomputers entirely in the US, Nvidia commissioned more than a million square feet of manufacturing space in Arizona and Texas so far. TSMC’s plant in Phoenix, Arizona, has already started production of the company’s latest AI chips, while supercomputer manufacturing in Texas is across facilities with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas. Production at the latter two plants is expected to ramp up in the next 12-15 months. It plans to work with Amkor and SPIL on packaging and testing operations in Arizona.

Discussing the quintet of partners involved, Nvidia asserted that these companies are deepening their partnership with Nvidia, growing their businesses while expanding their global footprint and hardening supply chain resilience. It branded its supercomputers as the engines of a new type of data center created for the sole purpose of processing AI. “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 Jensen Huang, Nvidia founder and CEO.
