Nvidia has announced plans to establish its first supercomputer manufacturing plants in the U.S., specifically in Houston and Dallas, Texas. This move marks a significant shift for the California-based semiconductor manufacturer, which has partnered with Taiwanese companies Foxconn and Wistron for the construction of these facilities. Nvidia aims to commence mass production within the next 12-15 months, with CEO Jensen Huang emphasizing that this initiative will enhance the supply chain and meet the growing demand for AI infrastructure.

The announcement follows recent temporary tariff exemptions on electronics by the Trump administration, although Nvidia did not cite tariffs as a factor in its decision. The new plants are expected to produce substantial amounts of AI infrastructure, potentially generating hundreds of thousands of jobs and contributing trillions to the economy. Additionally, Nvidia has revealed plans for a new chip testing facility in Phoenix, Arizona, further expanding its manufacturing capabilities in the U.S.
