NVIDIA Brings Blackwell Chip Production to Arizona — A Major Win

At NVIDIA’s GTC conference, CEO Jensen Huang announced that the company’s fastest AI chips — the Blackwell GPUs — are now in full production in Arizona . Until now, NVIDIA’s top-end GPUs were manufactured exclusively in Taiwan. The shift was driven in part by President Trump’s push to bring critical technology manufacturing back to the U.S. for national security and economic resilience. Earlier this month, NVIDIA and TSMC confirmed the first Blackwell wafers were produced in Phoenix, and NVIDIA says Blackwell systems will now be assembled in the U.S. as well. This positions Arizona at the center of America’s AI supply chain. NVIDIA also announced a$1B partnership with Nokia to rebuild U.S. telecom infrastructure using NVIDIA chips, plus new quantum-computing integrations through NVQLink.

For Arizona founders and investors, this marks a pivotal moment — AI, hardware, telecom, and advanced compute opportunities are accelerating here faster than ever, and Silicon Oasis is ready to help founders plug in.
