Texas, the birthplace of the semiconductor, will lead U.S. manufacturing with NVIDIA’s new AI supercomputer facilities.

NVIDIA is bringing AI supercomputer production to the U.S., with Houston and Dallas at the forefront, the company announced on April 14, 2025. Texas, where the semiconductor was invented by Texas Instruments in 1958, will now become the nation’s leading semiconductor manufacturer, leveraging over a million square feet of new manufacturing space.

The Details:

• Houston and Dallas Hubs: NVIDIA partners with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas to build AI supercomputer plants, with mass production starting in 12-15 months.

• Arizona Support: Blackwell chips are already in production at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (TSMC) Phoenix plant, with Amkor and Siliconware Precision Industries (SPIL) handling packaging.

• Economic Impact: NVIDIA’s $500B plan will add new jobs and amplify economic activity.

• Tech Innovation: NVIDIA will use AI, robotics, and digital twins like Omniverse to design and automate the facilities.

Why It Matters:

CEO Jensen Huang calls it a historic move, saying, “The engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the U.S. for the first time”. This decision exemplifies not only Texas's tech legacy but also jumpstarts the state's tech future.

The Catch:

Supply chain complexities may pose challenges. Therefore, watch for production updates as the project begins implementation.

Bottom Line:

Houston and Dallas are powering Texas’s return as the semiconductor capital and driving the future of AI infrastructure.
