NVIDIA has announced that it will start making its AI supercomputers in the United States for the first time. The company is working with top partners to design and build factories in the U.S.
NVIDIA is setting up over 1 million square feet of space to make and test its powerful Blackwell AI chips in Phoenix, Arizona, and to build AI supercomputers in Texas. The Texas factories will be in Houston with Foxconn and in Dallas with Wistron. Full production is expected to begin in the next 12 to 15 months.
Making AI chips and supercomputers is very complex. It requires advanced technologies for chip-making, packaging, and testing. NVIDIA is partnering with Amkor and SPIL for packaging and testing in Arizona.
Over the next four years, NVIDIA plans to produce up to $500 billion worth of AI systems in the U.S. with help from partners like TSMC, Foxconn, Wistron, Amkor, and SPIL. These partnerships will grow U.S. manufacturing, create jobs, and make the supply chain stronger.
NVIDIA’s AI supercomputers are made for new types of data centers called “AI factories.” These factories will be used only to run artificial intelligence systems. In the coming years, many large-scale AI factories are expected to be built. This effort could create hundreds of thousands of jobs and support the U.S. economy for decades.
Jensen Huang, the founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said, “We are building the core of the world’s AI systems in the U.S. for the first time. American manufacturing will help us meet the growing demand for AI and make our supply chain stronger.”
NVIDIA will also use its own AI tools, robots, and software like Omniverse to create digital twins of factories and Isaac GR00T to build robots for automated manufacturing.
