Nvidia signs supplier deals to triple AI chip capacity by 2028
Nvidia has announced agreements with six suppliers to expand manufacturing capacity for its AI systems, citing extraordinary demand and capacity constraints. The chipmaker stated that these deals are part of the largest infrastructure buildout in human history, according to a press release dated October 21.
Key points
- Nvidia signed deals with six suppliers to boost AI system capacity.
- Substrate capacity will increase 2.5 times in aggregate over three years.
- Nvidia provided $1.1 billion to King Yuan Electronics for U.S. testing facilities.
The agreements cover three main areas: substrates, advanced packaging, and optical engines. For substrates, Nvidia partnered with Ibiden, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, and Unimicron Technology Corp. to increase aggregate manufacturing capacity by 2.5 times over three years. Samsung Electro-Mechanics will build new factories in South Korea, while Unimicron will expand in Taiwan, reaching full capacity by mid-2028. Ibiden is receiving a multibillion-dollar reservation for a plant expansion in Japan that aims to triple its current capacity.
In advanced packaging, Amkor Technology will increase its capacity to process interposer-containing wafers by 300% by the end of 2028. King Yuan Electronics Co. (KYEC) will use $1.1 billion from Nvidia to build new U.S. testing facilities, with high-volume production starting in April 2027. Finally, Siliconware Precision Industries plans to expand its Taiwan manufacturing capacity for optical engines 15-fold by mid-2027, with a further doubling targeted by the end of 2028.
