Nvidia Supercharges U.S. AI Chip Manufacturing with Over One Million Square Feet of New Facilities

In a major move to bolster American semiconductor manufacturing, Nvidia has announced that it has commissioned more than one million square feet of manufacturing space in Arizona and Texas to produce and test its cutting-edge AI chips. The initiative is part of Nvidia’s larger strategy to shift a significant portion of its production to the United States and strengthen the domestic AI infrastructure.

The tech giant revealed that production of its highly anticipated Blackwell chips has already begun at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) facilities in Phoenix, Arizona. In tandem, Nvidia is constructing "supercomputer" manufacturing plants in Texas, collaborating with electronics manufacturing giants Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas.

In Arizona, Nvidia is also partnering with Amkor and SPIL to handle packaging and testing operations, critical steps in the chip production pipeline. According to the company, mass production at both the Arizona and Texas facilities is expected to ramp up significantly within the next 12 to 15 months.

Looking ahead, Nvidia has set an ambitious goal: to manufacture up to half a trillion dollars’ worth of AI infrastructure in the U.S. over the next four years.

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