Nvidia Begins Production of Blackwell AI Chip at TSMC's Arizona Facility
Nvidia has taken a significant step by moving part of its chip production to the United States. On Monday, the company revealed that it's now producing its Blackwell AI GPUs at TSMC's facility in Phoenix, Arizona. Not only are the chips being made there, but local companies are also involved in packaging and testing them.
TSMC, known globally as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., is the leading chipmaker and recently committed to a $100 billion investment in US chip production. They kicked off the production of chips using the 4nm process at their Arizona plant back in January and are looking to advance to the more efficient 2nm technology by the end of the decade.
Nvidia hasn't specified which Blackwell chips are rolling off the production line at TSMC's facility, leaving us wondering if this includes the latest Blackwell Ultra GB300 chip announced earlier this year. According to Nvidia's website, these Blackwell chips are crafted using TSMC’s custom 4NP process.

In another exciting development, Nvidia has partnered with electronics giants Foxconn and Wistron to establish supercomputer production facilities in Texas. They're gearing up for mass production, expecting it to "ramp up" in the next 12 to 15 months.
“Manufacturing NVIDIA AI chips and supercomputers for American AI factories is expected to create hundreds of thousands of jobs and drive trillions of dollars in economic security over the coming decades,” Nvidia proudly stated in their announcement. It's clear that this move is not just about tech innovation but also about boosting the US economy.

Nvidia가 Blackwell AI 칩을 애리조나에서 생산하기로 한 것은 큰 소식입니다! 기술 거대 기업이 생산을 미국으로 되돌리는 것은 멋집니다. 하지만 품질 관리가 걱정됩니다. Nvidia의 높은 기준을 유지해 주길 바랍니다. 그래도 앞으로의 시대는 흥미진진할 것 같아요! 🤞

A decisão da Nvidia de produzir os chips Blackwell AI no Arizona é um grande negócio! É legal ver os gigantes da tecnologia trazendo a produção de volta aos EUA. Mas, estou um pouco preocupado com o controle de qualidade. Espero que mantenham os altos padrões da Nvidia. Tempos empolgantes à frente, no entanto! 🤞

El movimiento de Nvidia para producir los chips Blackwell AI en Arizona es un gran asunto! Es genial ver a los gigantes tecnológicos volviendo a traer la producción a los EE.UU. Pero, estoy un poco preocupado por el control de calidad. Espero que mantengan los altos estándares de Nvidia. ¡Tiempos emocionantes por delante, sin embargo! 🤞

Nvidia's move to produce Blackwell AI chips in the US is cool, but I'm not sure how it'll affect my gaming setup. The local involvement is a plus, though. Hope it leads to better tech and maybe cheaper chips? 🤔
