- Jensen Huang dismissed reports that the U.S. seeks to relocate 40% of Taiwan’s chip output, describing planned fabs in the U.S., Europe, and Japan as net-new capacity.
- Huang said demand for TSMC wafers will outpace Taiwan’s available power, making some overseas manufacturing necessary while a large share of production stays in Taiwan.
- Industry analysts highlight Taiwan’s central role in advanced semiconductors, with TSMC producing roughly 70% of the world’s leading-edge chips.
- Nvidia is coordinating with Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron to secure high-bandwidth memory and other components for its next-generation AI accelerators.
