It’s safe to say that much of the world’s semiconductors run on designs built by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. At last estimate, the company was said to constitute about 64 percent of the world’s contract chip manufacturing. Those designs are also powering a lot of the AI technology breakthroughs that NVIDIA is designing. With that in mind, it might come as little surprise that Jensen Huang had nothing bad to say about TSMC during its recent company Sport Day. In fact, Huang went as far as to say that NVIDIA wouldn’t exist without TSMC. Huang made these comments during the recent TSMC Sport Day, as reported by online news outlet Focus Taiwan. This last weekend, Huang reportedly attended TSMC’s Sports Day at a stadium in Taiwan. There, Huang commented on TSMC’s place in NVIDIA’s history and its impact on technology at large: NVIDIA and TSMC have been collaborating for the better part of around 30 years, with NVIDIA utilizing the technological breakthroughs TSMC has developed in its own products, including NVIDIA’s cutting-edge Blackwell AI chips. With so much history and success together, Huang most certainly has more than a vested interest in keeping relations with TSMC friendly, especially as TSMC and the Taiwan region have butted heads with the United States government on trade and exports. Even so, a show of good will between NVIDIA and TSMC suggests the two companies will continue working together for the foreseeable future. As we watch for more updates, stay tuned to the TSMC and NVIDIA topics.
