Nvidia has unveiled its first-ever “Made in the USA” Blackwell AI chip, a major milestone in the effort to bring advanced semiconductor manufacturing back to American soil. The cutting-edge chip was produced at TSMC’s new factory in Phoenix, Arizona.
The move is a big deal for both Nvidia and the U.S. government. “This bolsters the U.S. supply chain and onshores the AI technology stack that will turn data into intelligence and secure America’s leadership for the AI era,” Nvidia said in a blog post. It’s a clear win for President Donald Trump’s push to strengthen American technology and manufacturing.
The new TSMC factory in Arizona is a state-of-the-art facility that will produce some of the most advanced chips in the world. These kinds are essential for everything from artificial intelligence to the latest smartphones. The demand for these chips is exploding as the AI industry’s appetite for computing power has no limits.
The announcement comes as AI companies are signing massive deals with chipmakers to build out their data center capacity. TSMC, the world’s biggest and most important chipmaker, just raised its revenue forecast for the year, clearly indicating that the AI boom is showing no signs of slowing down. The first American-made Blackwell chip is a powerful symbol of that boom, and of America’s ambition to be at the center of it.
