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.

Sherman, Texas—The Jensen Huang company, Nvidia, manufactures the computer chips that sparked the artificial intelligence revolution. Now it is betting that the boom of that technology will reactivate manufacturing in the United States, surpassing the limits of science and society. That possibility could depend on the laying of a factory’s first stone an hour north of Dallas. Nvidia formally presented yesterday plans for a major improvement of i…
Nvidia-backed optics vendor to boost wafer output by 4x to meet AI interconnect demand
As AI systems grow larger, optics are playing a larger part in their design – so much so that at Computex earlier this month, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang proclaimed the technology would make Marvell the next trillion dollar company. Now, Nvidia-backed photonics vendor Coherent plans to boost indium phosphide (InP) wafer production at its Sherman, Texas, fab by 4x in anticipation AI proliferation will trigger an explosion in optical interconnect dema…
