Nvidia is providing billions of dollars to expand advanced AI chip-packaging capacity at a Taiwanese supplier as a manufacturing bottleneck threatens to slow production of powerful processors

Nvidia is reportedly pouring billions of dollars into expanding advanced chip-packaging capacity at a Taiwanese supplier as severe manufacturing bottlenecks threaten to slow the delivery of high-performance artificial intelligence (AI) processors. The move comes as the global race to build AI infrastructure has unleashed unprecedented capital into advanced packaging – a stage of semiconductor manufacturing once viewed as routine, but now standing as the primary choke point in producing next-generation hardware.
