AI data center suppliers flock to the US to serve Nvidia, Microsoft and others

TAIPEI -- At Foxconn's manufacturing hub in Houston, Texas, hundreds of construction workers and engineers are working tirelessly to expand the Taiwanese company's capacity for building artificial intelligence servers in the U.S.

The key Nvidia supplier is undertaking this massive expansion to produce a significant proportion -- in the double digit percentage range -- of its graphic processing unit (GPU) modules and GPU board on American soil, Nikkei Asia has learned. It currently makes more than 90% of these critical components in Taiwan.
