JAKARTA Nvidia officially introduced the first fully produced Blackwell chip wafer in the United States, the result of a collaboration with TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) at its new facility in Phoenix, Arizona. This launch marks a major step in efforts to strengthen the independence of the semiconductor American industry amid a surge in demand for chips for artificial intelligence (AI).

In a statement, Nvidia confirmed that this domestic production will strengthen the US supply chain and restore AI technology piles to American soil, in order to maintain the country's leadership in the AI era.

This step is also in line with the agenda of President Donald Trump's administration, which encourages the strengthening of the domestic technology and manufacturing sector. The TSMC facility in Arizona is now a center for high-tech chip production, including 2nm, 3nm, 4nm, and A16 generation, which is the main brain behind various applications such as AI systems, telecommunications networks, to high-performance computing (HPC).

The launch of the Blackwell wafer comes amid the global AI industry race, where companies such as Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom are vying to expand the capacity of data centers to meet giant computing needs.

Meanwhile, TSMC, the world's most advanced chipmaker, has just raised its revenue projections for the year after scoring its highest profit in history thanks to soaring demand for AI chips.

Nvidia's move is not only a technology show, but also a symbol of the US semiconductor industry 're-shoring', marking a new chapter in which global tech warfare is now shifting from a laboratory screen to a factory floor at the heart of the Arizona desert where silicon, data and national ambitions meet in real shape.
