News Summary

Nvidia has announced plans to begin manufacturing AI chips and complete supercomputers within the United States, marking the first time the company will produce these products domestically. This strategic move comes in response to the Trump administration’s recent tariff changes and geopolitical tensions between the US and China. Nvidia will utilize over one million square feet of manufacturing space across Arizona and Texas, partnering with companies such as Foxconn and Wistron for supercomputer assembly in Texas, and collaborating with Amkor and SPIL for chip packaging and testing in Arizona. Founder and CEO Jensen Huang emphasized that the US-based manufacturing would enhance the company’s ability to meet the growing demand for AI technology while strengthening the supply chain and increasing resiliency. The development follows Nvidia’s efforts to avoid export controls on its H20 AI chip, which remains exportable to China under current US restrictions.
