Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is in talks with Nvidia to produce Blackwell AI chips at TSMC's new Arizona facility. Preparations for production are set to begin early next year, responding to high demand for these chips in generative AI and accelerated computing. Currently, these chips are manufactured in Taiwan, but the agreement would expand TSMC's customer base in the U.S.
The Blackwell chips are touted to be significantly faster, enhancing performance in AI applications like chatbots. However, while TSMC will handle the front-end production in Arizona, the chips will still require packaging in Taiwan due to the lack of necessary facilities in Arizona. This move aligns with TSMC's broader investment strategy in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing, supported by government subsidies.
