NVIDIA designs its chips and uses outside manufacturers. Its FY2026 filing names TSMC and Samsung for wafers; TSMC’s Phoenix fab reached volume production of Blackwell chips in October 2025. [1][3]
Who makes NVIDIA chips?
- Owner
- NVIDIA Corporation is the publicly listed company behind the designs. Its manufacturing relationships with TSMC and Samsung do not make either foundry NVIDIA’s corporate owner. [1]
- Made by
- The FY2026 filing names TSMC and Samsung for wafer fabrication, SK hynix, Micron and Samsung for memory, and contract partners including Hon Hai, Wistron and Fabrinet for later manufacturing work. These roles must be separated from NVIDIA’s chip design. [1]

Text version of the map
- NVIDIA chips (Brand): NVIDIA designs its chips and uses outside manufacturers. Its FY2026 filing names TSMC and Samsung for wafers; TSMC’s Phoenix fab reached volume production of Blackwell chips in October 2025. [1][3]
- NVIDIA chips → NVIDIA chips (Owner): NVIDIA Corporation is the publicly listed company behind the designs. Its manufacturing relationships with TSMC and Samsung do not make either foundry NVIDIA’s corporate owner. [1]
- NVIDIA chips → Manufacturing and sourcing (Manufacturer): The FY2026 filing names TSMC and Samsung for wafer fabrication, SK hynix, Micron and Samsung for memory, and contract partners including Hon Hai, Wistron and Fabrinet for later manufacturing work. These roles must be separated from NVIDIA’s chip design. [1]
- Manufacturing and sourcing → Phoenix, Arizona (Factory): TSMC volume production of Blackwell chips confirmed in October 2025. [3]
Who owns NVIDIA chips?
NVIDIA Corporation is the publicly listed company behind the designs. Its manufacturing relationships with TSMC and Samsung do not make either foundry NVIDIA’s corporate owner. [1]
Who actually makes NVIDIA chips products?
The FY2026 filing names TSMC and Samsung for wafer fabrication, SK hynix, Micron and Samsung for memory, and contract partners including Hon Hai, Wistron and Fabrinet for later manufacturing work. These roles must be separated from NVIDIA’s chip design. [1]
Where are NVIDIA chips products made?
TSMC’s Phoenix, Arizona fab reached volume production of Blackwell chips in October 2025. NVIDIA’s April 2025 US announcement separately described planned supercomputer factories and packaging/testing partnerships; a wafer fab is not the whole server supply chain. [2][3]
Is NVIDIA chips made in China or the USA?
US Blackwell wafer manufacture is confirmed in Arizona. NVIDIA’s filing describes a largely Asian supply chain with expansion elsewhere; the exact fabrication, packaging and board-assembly origin of each product remains model-specific. [1][3]
Same factory, different label
TSMC and Samsung serve as manufacturing partners, while memory and system assembly involve other companies. Using the same foundry does not establish that two chip brands have the same design or performance. [1]
