A new era of industrial power is unfolding across North Texas, and it’s not oil, energy or aviation leading the charge — it’s supercomputers.
NVIDIA, the tech giant behind the world’s most advanced artificial intelligence chips, chose Dallas as a cornerstone in its bold plan to manufacture AI supercomputers entirely on American soil.
The company is working with its global manufacturing partners to build a domestic supply chain that spans from chip fabrication to final system testing — and a major piece of that future is landing right here.
Is Nvidia Coming To Dallas or “Dallas”?
“NVIDIA is building supercomputer manufacturing plants in Texas, with Foxconn in Houston and with Wistron in Dallas,” an announcement from the company reads.
The plant is expected to reach full production capacity in the next 12 to 15 months.
“We’ll decline to comment, beyond what’s in our blog,” a spokesperson for NVIDIA told Local Profile when asked about a specific location.
While the announcement names Dallas, the exact location remains unclear.
Will the plant be in Dallas or “Dallas?”
The city is now a brand, and in many cases, “Dallas” can extend to its surrounding suburbs.
Given Wistron’s presence in McKinney, it’s possible that Collin County could ultimately house the new facility.
Local Profile reached out to Wistron for comment, but did not receive a response prior to publishing.
This story will be updated pending response.
What Does NVIDIA Do
These supercomputers — the same machines designed to run massive language models, power self-driving vehicles and enable next-generation robotics — represent the infrastructure for a new industrial revolution, driven by data and powered by trillions of calculations per second.
The decision to bring that infrastructure to Dallas signals more than just a business deal; it’s a strategic bet on North Texas.
“The engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA in an official statement.
“Adding American manufacturing helps us better meet the incredible and growing demand for AI chips and supercomputers, strengthens our supply chain and boosts our resiliency.”
Behind the scenes, NVIDIA will deploy its own technology — including AI, robotics and digital twins — to streamline operations.
From virtual replicas of the factory floor created in NVIDIA Omniverse to autonomous manufacturing robots powered by Isaac GR00T, the plants themselves will be showcased for the very future they’re building.
Why North Texas Was Chosen
North Texas joins a growing network of U.S. cities playing host to this ambitious manufacturing expansion.
In Phoenix, NVIDIA’s chip production already began at TSMC’s plants, with packaging and testing handled by Amkor and SPIL.
Together, these facilities will contribute to what NVIDIA envisions as up to half a trillion dollars in AI infrastructure built in the U.S. over the next four years.
But there may be deeper reasons behind the move.
CBS News reports that some economists believe it could be an effort to avoid tariffs on Taiwanese-made products.
Taiwan also faces high energy costs due to its reliance on gas and coal, whereas Texas offers abundant, affordable natural gas.
Tech Plants Take Over North Texas
Just north of Dallas, the city of Sherman is emerging as a critical semiconductor hub in its own right.
Texas Instruments is investing $30 billion to build four advanced chip plants in the area, with the first one expected to come online in 2025.
Taiwanese firm GlobalWafers is building its own $5 billion plant in Sherman as well, aiming to produce 2.4 million silicon wafers per month — the raw materials that power everything from smartphones to servers.
Together, these projects represent a tectonic shift in the region’s economic identity.
What was once cattle country and manufacturing sprawl is rapidly becoming the industrial engine of the AI age.
Thousands of high-skilled jobs are on the horizon.
Trillions in economic output are in play.
And at the heart of it all is a simple idea: the future of computing doesn’t just run in the cloud — it’s built on the ground, right here in Texas.
