NVIDIA: Build AI technology for $ 500 billion in the USA
The chip group Nvidia wants to produce AI technology worth up to $ 500 billion in the USA over the next four years. In Texas, two supercomputer factories would be built together with Asian order manufacturers: with Foxconn in Houston and with Wistron in Dallas.
The mass production there should begin in twelve to 15 months, Nvidia said. Meanwhile, the production of chips for training and operation of software with artificial intelligence with the Taiwanese semiconductor giant TSMC in Arizona had started.
Key technology for booming business with AI
Nvidia chips have become a key technique for booming business with artificial intelligence. The majority is produced in Taiwan – which has been worried in the West for years that geopolitical tensions with China could let the supply of state -of -the -art semiconductors dry up.
The President Joe Biden, elected in November, tried to promote the settlement of chip manufacturers in the United States with billions of grants. In fact, after subsidy commitments of around $ 40 billion, several companies announced the construction of new factories in the United States. Biden’s successor Donald Trump, on the other hand, relies on tariffs as a means of pressure.

In the announcement, Nvidia mainly summarized plans and decisions made years ago and provided this package with an impressive price tag. Trump used this as an opportunity to celebrate the message as a success of his customs policy. He spoke of one of the greatest announcements ever. The sum mentioned by Nvidia fits the plans of large cloud providers to expand their data centers.
