|
|
|
The Taiwan government has cleared Nvidia to establish a NT$3.3 billion (US$105 million) headquarters on the island that produces most of the world's advanced semiconductors, which the Silicon Valley chip designer will need to feed the red-hot global artificial intelligence sector.
Nvidia would use the Taipei site for a “commercial office” building and the acquisition of land for a “comprehensive business park”, the island's Ministry of Economic Affairs announced on Wednesday.
The approval came a......

$500 Billion... US-Taiwan Agree Huge Chip Trade Deal
Confirming what we previewed on Tuesday, the US and Taiwan agreed to a long-sought trade agreement that would lower tariffs on goods from the self-governed island to 15% and see Taiwanese semiconductor companies increase financing for American operations by $500 billion.
While the details are a little murky, duties on Taiwanese shipments would fall from the previous 20% rate - putting them on par with Japan and South Korea, which reached their own agreements last year.
And, as Bloomberg reports, Taiwan's technology industry would also commit to making at least $250 billion in direct investments to expand advanced semiconductor, energy and artificial intelligence operations in the US.
In addition, Taiwan agreed to provide an additional $250 billion in credit guarantees for further investment in the American semiconductor supply chain.
A White House statement outlining the deal did not specifically mention Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing...
