Nvidia says it plans to manufacture some AI chips in the U.S.

Quick Summary:

Nvidia says it has commissioned more than a million square feet of manufacturing space to build and test AI chips in Arizona and Texas as part of an effort to move a portion of production to the U.S.

OpenAI teamed up with SoftBank and Oracle for a $500 billion U.S.data center initiative dubbed the Stargate Project in January. Microsoft pledged $80 billion to build AI data centers in its 2025 fiscal year, with 50% of that earmarked for the U.S.

Retaliatory tariffs and trade restrictions from China threaten the supply of necessary raw materials to build chips in the U.S., and there’s a severe shortage of skilled frontline workers to build chips.
