With production handled by Taiwanese manufacturers TSMC, Foxconn and Wistron, Nvidia says that it plans to ‘produce up to a half trillion dollars of AI infrastructure’ in the U.S. within the next four years. Mass production is ‘expected to ramp in the next 12-15 months.’
Nvidia said it will build entire AI supercomputers in the United States for the first time thanks to investments it’s making with Taiwanese manufacturing partners TSMC, Foxconn and Wistron.
The AI computing giant made the announcement Monday, saying that it has “commissioned more than a million square feet of manufacturing space to build and test Nvidia Blackwell chips in Arizona and AI supercomputers in Texas.”

Nvidia said this new production capability will allow the company to “produce up to a half trillion dollars of AI infrastructure” in the U.S. within the next four years.
Nvidia said Blackwell production has already begun at TSMC’s fabrication plants in Phoenix, Arizona. The supercomputer manufacturing plants are being stood up by Foxconn in Houston and by Wistron in Dallas, with mass production “expected to ramp up in the next 12-15 months.”
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company said it is also working with Amkor and SPIL to handle the chip packaging and testing needs of its AI supercomputer products.
Nvidia announced the move as President Trump continued to adjust the wide-ranging tariffs he unleashed on nearly 60 countries and regions nearly two weeks ago with the goal of fixing perceived trade imbalances with other countries and grow domestic manufacturing.
“The engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time,” Nvidia CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang 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.”
The investments Nvidia is making in U.S. manufacturing for its chips and AI supercomputers is “expected to create hundreds of thousands of jobs and drive trillions of dollars in the economic security over the coming decades,” according to the company.
The company said it will use its “advanced AI, robotics and digital twin technologies to design and operate the U.S. facilities run by parts partners.”
