Nvidia to manufacture AI chips in the US
Nvidia has commissioned over one million square meters of production space to build and test AI chips in Arizona and Texas, signaling a strategic shift from its predominantly Taiwan-based manufacturing. Blackwell chips are now being produced at TSMC's Phoenix foundry. The company is also establishing supercomputer factories with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas, while partnering with Amkor and SPIL for packaging and testing. Nvidia aims to produce up to $500 billion worth of AI infrastructure in the US within the next four years. This announcement follows negotiations with the Trump administration regarding export controls on its H20 chip, which remains exportable to China. CEO Jensen Huang stated that American manufacturing will help meet growing demand and strengthen supply chain resilience.
Nvidia's move to manufacture AI chips in the US strengthens the AI supply chain and resilience, which directly impacts the availability and cost of AI compute power used across the AdTech and MarTech ecosystem.

US suspends Microsoft, Adobe from green card labor program
The U.S. Department of Labor announced the suspension of Microsoft and Adobe from its Permanent Labor Certification program, along with Cognizant, Infosys, Capgemini, Tata, Wipro, and HCL. Secretary Keith Sonderling cited active federal investigations for Microsoft and Adobe, and criticized the companies for allegedly taking jobs from American workers. Vice President JD Vance specifically accused Microsoft of replacing laid-off workers with H-1B visa holders. Microsoft responded by defending its hiring practices, stating that the majority of its U.S. employees are Americans and that most H-1B petitions are for existing employees. The announcement was made during a White House summit on H-1B fraud, coinciding with President Trump honoring several tech CEOs with the National Medal of Science.
TSMC Q3 Revenue Up 51% to Record, Stock Falls
TSMC reported a 51% increase in third-quarter revenue to 1.49 trillion Taiwan dollars (EUR 41.7 billion), surpassing expectations.
