Nvidia and Coherent Expand Texas Factory for AI Chip Links
The $2 billion project is expected to create 1,000 jobs and cut power use by up to 50%, executives said.
- On Tuesday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a $2 billion partnership with Coherent to expand a Sherman, Texas facility, increasing production of Indium Phosphide lasers for chip-to-chip data transmission.
- Nvidia is transitioning from selling individual chips to providing entire AI systems, clustering chipmaking in Arizona and assembly in Texas to secure a reliable domestic supply chain.
- Coherent estimates the expansion will create 1,000 jobs, including about 550 technical roles, while new laser technology enables chips to work as a single system, cutting power consumption by up to 50%.
- Bipartisan government support anchored the project, with $33 million from the CHIPS and Science Act and a $17 million grant from the Trump administration, Coherent CEO Jim Anderson said.
- Trump recently praised Huang as a "friend" and "amazing," marking a shift from earlier threats to break up Nvidia, underscoring the administration's reliance on the AI boom to drive manufacturing growth.
