Nvidia plans to make its next-generation artificial intelligence chips and supercomputers entirely in the United States for the first time, the company said in a statement Monday.
The move demonstrates growing interest in AI infrastructure and broader efforts to localize the production of modern technologies, which could also have a positive impact on crypto miners who are adapting their capacities for AI and high-performance computing (HPC).
Many of these operators already have access to the large-scale power and cooling systems needed to run data centers, making them potential participants in the emerging AI economy.
Crypto miners, who previously focused solely on computing power, are increasingly looking to integrate into the AI and HPC supply chain. Their existing access to powerful infrastructure and experience in managing industrial operations gives them an advantage amid the growing demand for AI computing.
However, recent tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump are causing concern among miners as the policy changes are expected to increase costs for ASIC miners, electrical components, networking equipment, and more.
NVIDIA said it has secured more than a million square feet of space in Arizona and Texas to assemble and test Blackwell chips and AI systems, with manufacturing already underway at TSMC's Phoenix facility.
In Texas, supercomputer factories are being built in partnership with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas, with full production expected within 12 to 15 months.
This represents a change for NVIDIA, which previously relied on overseas manufacturing facilities. The company will also partner with Amkor and SPIL for packaging and testing in Arizona.
NVIDIA expects these efforts to support up to half a trillion dollars in AI infrastructure over the next four years. CEO Jensen Huang described the shift as “the first time that the engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States.”
