TSMC in talks with Nvidia for Blackwell AI chip production in Arizona

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co is in discussions with Nvidia Corp to produce its Blackwell artificial intelligence chips at the contract manufacturer’s new plant in Arizona, three sources familiar with the matter said.

TSMC is already making preparations to start production early next year, the sources said.

Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, which the company unveiled in March, have so far been manufactured at TSMC’s facilities in Taiwan.
