NVIDIA to Invest Up to $500B in AI Data Center Construction in US

William Attardi on May 28, 2026

NVIDIA is working with its manufacturing partners to design and build factories that, for the first time, will produce NVIDIA AI supercomputers entirely in the U.S.NVIDIA Blackwell chips have started production at TSMC’s chip plants in Phoenix, Arizona. NVIDIA is building supercomputer manufacturing plants in Texas, with Foxconn in Houston and with Wistron in Dallas. Mass production at both plants is expected to ramp up in the next 12-15 months. Within the next four years, NVIDIA plans to produce up to half a trillion dollars of AI infrastructure in the United States through partnerships with TSMC, Foxconn, Wistron, Amkor and SPIL. .  NVIDIA AI supercomputers are the engines of a new type of data center created for the sole purpose of processing artificial intelligence — AI factories. NVIDIA to Invest Up to $500B in AI Data Center Construction in US – tEDmag

Nvidia to Increase Spend in Taiwan by $150 Billion

William Attardi on May 28, 2026

Nvidia announced its plan to expand spending on chip manufacturing in Taiwan to $150 billion, up from $10 billion just a few years ago. By the end of the year, Nvidia will have a brand-new office complex called Constellation, and could have as many as  4,000 employees in northern Taipei when it opens by the end of the decade. Right now, Nvidia has about 1,000 employees in Taiwan. Nvidia will design the new AI computer chips. TSMC, the world’s largest chip maker, will manufacture them. As a result, Nvidia will be TSMC’s largest customer, surpassing Apple. Business News Today – tEDmag

Nvidia, Emerald AI Partner with Power Companies on New AI Factories

William Attardi on March 24, 2026

Nvidia and Emerald AI said they would work with several power producers to develop a new class of AI factories, designed to connect to energy grids faster and support power systems as surging demand for artificial intelligence strains electricity infrastructure. The facilities will operate as what the companies on Monday called flexible energy assets, supporting power grids by modulating consumption and leveraging on-site generation and storage. Participating power companies include AES, Constellation, Invenergy, NextEra Energy, Nscale Energy & Power, and Vistra. Nvidia, Emerald AI Partner With Power Companies on New AI Factories – WSJ

Remembering the Solemn Purpose of Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed on the last Monday in May to honor and mourn U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the armed forces. The holiday traces its roots to the years immediately following the American Civil War (1861–1865), which caused massive casualties—roughly 620,000 soldiers dead, about 2% of the U.S. population at the time. Communities across the North and South began spontaneously decorating the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers, wreaths, and flags, a practice that gave rise to the original name: Decoration Day. On May 5, 1868, Major General John A. Logan, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR)—a powerful Union veterans’ organization—issued General Order No. 11. This proclaimed May 30, 1868, as a nationwide “Decoration Day” to honor those who died in the Civil War. After World War I, the holiday expanded to honor all American service members who died in any war, not just the Civil War.  In 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act to create more three-day weekends for federal employees. This moved Memorial Day to the last Monday in May, effective in 1971, when it was also officially named “Memorial Day.” As one 1868 quote put it: “That Nation which respects and honors its dead, shall ever be respected and honored itself.”
