Nvidia, Intel tout US chip production, but packaging remains offshore

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Nvidia and Intel are highlighting their contributions to a domestic U.S. chip supply chain, emphasizing U.S.-based wafer production for advanced AI components like Nvidia's Blackwell. However, a critical gap remains as the crucial packaging and assembly steps for these chips are still performed offshore, primarily in Taiwan. While new U.S. facilities are planned to address these gaps, they are not expected to be operational until 2028 at the earliest, leaving a significant portion of the AI hardware manufacturing process reliant on overseas capabilities. AI
