Claims
- Wistron's Fort Worth D1 facility, representing a $700 million investment, is currently producing NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchips and will add Vera Rubin Superchip production, scaling to tens of thousands of boards per month.
- The facility was fully designed and simulated in a digital twin using NVIDIA Nemotron, Cosmos, Omniverse, and Metropolis before physical construction began.
- The plant has created over 500 jobs with plans to expand to 1,000 by end of year, and is part of NVIDIA's broader $500 billion US manufacturing commitment.
- Jensen Huang characterized AI factories as future fundamental societal infrastructure analogous to roads, agriculture, and electricity grids.
Key quotes
Manufacturing is an essential pillar for every economy and every country. Building chip plants, packaging plants, computer system plants like this, and AI factories all over the United States, has allowed the United States to really reindustrialize for the first time in a long time.
Just as agriculture is a fundamental infrastructure of society, in the future these AI factories will be a fundamental infrastructure of society.
It has one-and-a-half million parts inside — two tons, 4 million dollars — and we're producing them like phones, right here in Wistron, cranking them out in volume because the world needs all of these machines to drive the intelligence infrastructure.
