NVIDIA Unveils First U.S.-Made Blackwell Chip Wafer Amid Rising AI Demand
In response to the surging demand for artificial intelligence technology, NVIDIA has unveiled the first U.S.-made Blackwell chip wafer. The chip was manufactured at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (TSMC) semiconductor plant in Phoenix, Arizona. The announcement was made on Friday, according to a Reuters report.
NVIDIA stated that the initiative will strengthen the U.S. supply chain and enhance domestic production capacity for AI technologies, which will “help transform data into intelligence and keep the United States at the forefront of the AI era.”
The move also aligns with President Donald Trump’s efforts to reinforce America’s technology and manufacturing sectors.
TSMC’s Arizona facility will now produce chips using 2, 3, and 4-nanometer technologies, as well as advanced A16 series chips, which are essential for artificial intelligence, telecommunications, and high-performance computing applications.
Recently, several major chipmakers and AI leaders — including NVIDIA, AMD, and Broadcom — have entered into large-scale agreements aimed at expanding data center capacities.
TSMC, the world’s largest chip manufacturer, recently reported record quarterly profits and announced that its annual revenue is expected to exceed previous projections due to increasing investments in the AI sector.
