Shifting gears from Taiwan, Nvidia decides to bring AI chip production to the US with a $500 billion investment, creating jobs and boosting tech on American soil.
On Monday, Nvidia announced that it will begin manufacturing some of its AI chips in the United States, marking a shift from its previous production base in Taiwan. Over the next four years, the chipmaker intends to invest up to $500 billion in AI infrastructure across the US.
The company is working with several partners—including TSMC, Foxconn, Wistron, Amkor, and SPIL—to develop more than one million square feet of manufacturing space. This expansion is expected to create hundreds of thousands of jobs nationwide.
TSMC has already started production of Nvidia’s highly anticipated Blackwell chip at its Arizona plant. Meanwhile, Amkor and SPIL will handle chip packaging and testing in the same state. Amkor had earlier revealed plans for a $2 billion facility in Arizona.
In Texas, Nvidia is collaborating with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas to set up two supercomputer manufacturing sites. Operations at these locations are projected to begin within the next 12 to 15 months.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed the company’s growing US presence last month, indicating plans to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in domestic manufacturing. He described the move as a step toward strengthening supply chains and meeting surging demand for AI technologies.
Huang stated that the world’s AI infrastructure engines are being built in the US for the first time, according to a report by Manufacturing Dive.
The announcement aligns with the Trump administration’s push to bring more manufacturing back to US soil. President Trump eased tariffs on certain electronics, including semiconductors and display modules, on Friday.
Several tech firms have since made investment pledges. TSMC plans to spend $100 billion on U.S. factories, while Apple announced a $500 billion commitment earlier this year.
