Technology company Nvidia announced that it is developing AI supercomputers and Blackwell chips entirely in the United States. The production will take place in Arizona and Texas.
According to Nvidia, AI supercomputers are the “engines of a new type of data center created for the sole purpose of processing artificial intelligence — AI factories that are the infrastructure powering a new AI industry,” a press release explains.
The company explained that it plans to produce up to half a trillion dollars of AI infrastructure within the next four years through partnerships with TSMC, Foxconn, Wistron, Amkor, and SPIL.
“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 in a statement. “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.”
Nvidia’s plan to bring manufacturing to the U.S. is likely connected to President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
The White House commented on the development, calling it the “Trump effect in action.”
“President Donald J. Trump has made U.S.-based chips manufacturing a priority as part of his relentless pursuit of an American manufacturing renaissance, and it’s paying off — with trillions of dollars in new investments secured in the tech sector alone,” the White House said, adding, “Onshoring these industries is good for the American worker, good for the American economy, and good for American national security — and the best is yet to come.”
