Chipmaker Nvidia said it is building new factories that can produce its AI supercomputers entirely on U.S. soil as trade war tensions build with top chipmaking countries such as China and Taiwan.
Nvidia is working with Taiwanese electronics manufacturers Foxconn and Wistron to build two supercomputer factories in Houston and Dallas, the company announced Monday, and “Mass production at both plants is expected to ramp up in the next 12-15 months.”
The U.S. chipmaker said it is already producing its Blackwell chips, which provide capacity for generative AI and accelerated computing, at the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) factory in Phoenix.
Nvidia expects the investment to result in “hundreds of thousands of jobs and drive trillions of dollars in economic security over the coming decades,” according to a news release.
The Trump administration is touting the news of building U.S. supercomputer factories as a win in its efforts to boost domestic manufacturing.
