Nvidia to Prioritize Japan for AI Processors Amid High Demand

The move comes as Japan invests heavily in rebuilding its semiconductor infrastructure and developing AI technology.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has promised to prioritize Japan's requirements for AI processors amid high market demand.
Japan is rushing to rebuild its semiconductor infrastructure and catch up on AI technology development.
Japan recently passed a budget that included about ¥2 trillion ($13.60 billion) for chip investment.
Some of the funds are expected to support Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC and chip foundry venture Rapidus, which aims to manufacture cutting-edge chips in Hokkaido.
Huang emphasized the importance of countries owning their data, building their own AI factories, and producing their own AI intelligence.
