Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang feels safe relying on Taiwan for chips

Nvidia Corp, a major supplier of chips and computing systems for artificial intelligence (AI), feels “perfectly safe” about relying so much on chip powerhouse Taiwan for manufacturing, its chief executive Jensen Huang said on Thursday.

Some companies have expressed concerns about potential risks to business given heightened military threats by China against the democratic island of Taiwan, which Beijing claims as its own, to Taipei’s strong objections.

Chip manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSMC) makes chips designed by Nvidia and Huang said his company’s next generation of products would also be made by TSMC, while adding Nvidia would continue to diversify.
