Ex-Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger praises cutting-edge Nvidia chip production with TSMC on US soil, despite Intel missing out — hails manufacturing milestone of US-based supply chain

Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger praised Nvidia's cutting-edge Blackwell GPUs being produced in Arizona, highlighting the importance of resilient silicon supply chains. Despite Intel missing out on Nvidia fabrication contracts, Gelsinger commended the milestone of US-based chip production. The move towards US-based infrastructure projects by tech giants like Nvidia aims to avoid trade tariffs and export restrictions, reflecting a global shift towards nationalized technology and multi-polar supply chains. Gelsinger's support for building advanced products in the US aligns with efforts to establish more resilient semiconductor supply chains amid geopolitical tensions and concerns over China's semiconductor dominance.
