Nvidia To Build $500 Billion in AI Manufacturing Infrastructure in US, Supercomputers in America for the First Time

AI giant Nvidia has been making headlines for some time now over both its burgeoning AI business and tumultuous stock price. Now, in an April 14 blog post shared on its website, Nvidia announced that it will be greatly expanding its U.S.-based manufacturing capabilities, pouring $500 billion in investment into production facilities in Arizona and Texas.

The details of the announcement are as follows: Nvidia has already begun manufacturing its powerful Blackwell chips at TSMC’s chip plants in Phoenix, Arizona, and the chipmaker has begun building two supercomputer production facilities in Texas — one in Houston (in partnership with Foxconn) and one in Dallas (in partnership with Wistron). Mass production at these plants is expected to increase in scope over the next 12 to 15 months.

“The engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time,” Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, said of the news.

“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,” Huang added.

As The Guardian underscored, this latest announcement comes in the wake of President Donald Trump’s renewed threats to hit Taiwan with tariffs related to its semiconductor business — a region where Nvidia manufactures much of its product. The outlet also added that Huang dined at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort earlier in April.

Further, the company announced that it would be producing that half-trillion AI infrastructure investment via partnerships with a number of manufacturing specialists in the industry, including Foxconn, Wistron, TSMC, Amkor, and SPIL. The latter two companies will be called upon for their packaging and testing operations centered around Arizona, per the blog post.

As Nvidia pointed out, its AI supercomputers have become the de facto backbone of artificial intelligence data centers — termed “gigawatt AI factories” for their size and scale — many of which are slated to be built stateside.

“Tens of ‘gigawatt AI factories’ are expected to be built in the coming years. Manufacturing Nvidia AI chips and supercomputers for American AI factories is expected to create hundreds of thousands of jobs and drive trillions of dollars in economic security over the coming decades,” Nvidia noted.
