Nvidia CEO to increase investment, build 2nd supercomputer in Taiwan

TAIPEI -- Nvidia plans to increase its investments in Taiwan despite geopolitical uncertainties surrounding the island, CEO Jensen Huang said on Tuesday, citing the importance of the local chip supply chain and his company's decadeslong relationship with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.

Speaking to reporters in Taipei, Huang confirmed that Nvidia, the world's most valuable chip company, plans to build another supercomputer in Taiwan following last year's launch of Taipei-1, which is owned and operated by Nvidia in the south of the island. He said a location for the new investment has not yet been decided.
