NVIDIA has announced plans to manufacture AI supercomputers entirely in the United States for the first time in the company’s history. This initiative marks a major step towards bolstering domestic production of cutting-edge technology in the face of increasing global demand for AI infrastructure.

NVIDIA is collaborating with a range of manufacturing partners to design and construct new factories across the U.S., with a focus on producing its innovative Blackwell chips. These chips have begun production at TSMC’s state-of-the-art chip plants located in Phoenix, Arizona. To further enhance its manufacturing capabilities, NVIDIA is also establishing supercomputer manufacturing plants in Texas, partnering with major manufacturers like Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas. Mass production from these sites is expected to ramp up within the next 12 to 15 months.

With the AI market evolving rapidly, the supply chain for AI chips and supercomputers has become increasingly intricate, demanding the integration of advanced manufacturing, packaging, assembly, and testing technologies. To address this complexity, NVIDIA is partnering with established companies such as Amkor and SPIL to oversee packaging and testing operations in Arizona.

NVIDIA’s ambitious plans extend over the coming years, as the company aims to produce up to half a trillion dollars in AI infrastructure domestically. This initiative involves collaboration with TSMC, Foxconn, Wistron, Amkor, and SPIL, which not only deepens their partnership with NVIDIA but also expands their business operations and enhances supply chain resilience.

AI supercomputers are becoming the backbone of a new type of data center dedicated solely to artificial intelligence processing — often referred to as “AI factories.” In the forthcoming years, NVIDIA anticipates the development of numerous gigawatt AI factories, a move expected to generate hundreds of thousands of jobs and contribute significantly to economic security over the next few decades.

“Our advanced AI infrastructure is being built right here in the United States for the first time,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Establishing American manufacturing enables us to meet the surging demand for AI chips and supercomputers, bolstering our supply chain and enhancing our resilience.”

Leveraging its leadership in AI, robotics, and digital twin technologies, NVIDIA plans to operate these facilities with cutting-edge innovations. Utilizing NVIDIA Omniverse, the company aims to create digital twins of the factories for efficient design and operation, while tools like NVIDIA Isaac GR00T will facilitate the automation of manufacturing processes through robotics.

As NVIDIA embarks on this significant milestone, its commitment to American manufacturing promises not only to reshape the landscape of AI infrastructure but also to solidify the U.S.’s position as a leader in the global technology arena.
