NVIDIA has announced plans to build AI supercomputers entirely in the United States — something it’s never done before. This move is a major step in the company’s efforts to support AI development in the country.

The engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time. 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.

$500 Billion Plan to Boost U.S. AI Infrastructure

This project is part of a $500 billion plan over the next four years to help build and strengthen America’s AI infrastructure. It involves a large-scale commitment to manufacturing and technology development within the U.S.

Factories in Arizona and Texas with Key Partners

NVIDIA is working with Foxconn to set up a factory in Houston and with Wistron in Dallas, Texas. Meanwhile, production of the new Blackwell AI chips has already started at TSMC’s plant in Phoenix, Arizona. The company has secured over a million square feet of space in Arizona and Texas for chip and supercomputer production and testing.

Advanced Manufacturing and Stronger Supply Chains

Making these AI chips and supercomputers is a complex process that requires high-end manufacturing, packaging, and testing technologies. NVIDIA is partnering with Amkor and SPIL in Arizona for packaging and testing. These efforts aim to improve supply chain strength and reliability.

Tariffs on Imported Chips and Use of AI Tools

This plan is unfolding as the U.S. government, under former President Donald Trump’s tariff campaign, is expected to soon impose taxes on imported chips. To run the new factories efficiently, NVIDIA will use its own advanced AI, robotics, and simulation tools, including NVIDIA Omniverse and Isaac GR00T.
