Nvidia Unveils First U.S.-Made Blackwell Wafer, Driving AI Chip Strategy
Nvidia has begun production of its Blackwell Wafer on U.S. soil, marking a pivotal moment for domestic semiconductor manufacturing. The first wafer was fabricated at TSMC's Arizona facility, showcasing the capability to produce advanced AI hardware domestically and reducing reliance on overseas supply chains.
TSMC's Arizona plant now stands as one of the most advanced chip manufacturing sites in the U.S., leveraging technology previously exclusive to Taiwan. Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO, emphasized the historic significance of this achievement, stating, "The single most important chip is now being produced in America."
This development signals a strategic shift in semiconductor production, with implications for both the tech industry and broader economic resilience.
