    TAIPEI, July 22 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Wistron 3231.TW, a supplier to Nvidia NVDA.O, launched a $700 million manufacturing facility in Texas on Tuesday to produce the U.S. chipmaker's latest AI systems, as Taiwanese electronics makers expand U.S. production to meet soaring demand for AI infrastructure.
            
Here are a few details:
The Fort Worth facility manufactures Nvidia's GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has described the AI system built around the product as "the most powerful AI supercomputer in the world."  
Wistron said the site is where Nvidia's first GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip was built and mass-produced in the United States.
The factory will also manufacture Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin Superchip, Wistron said. 
The factory is expected to scale up production this year to manufacture tens of thousands of computing boards per month, according to Nvidia.
The factory has created more than 500 jobs, Nvidia said, adding that it is on track to expand its workforce to 1,000 employees by the end of the year. 
Nvidia said Wistron's Fort Worth plant forms part of the $500 billion U.S. investment commitment it announced in 2025.
