"We are now running production silicon in Arizona." So says none other than Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Exactly what silicon? How many chips? Hold those thoughts.
The term "production silicon" is a significant upgrade from previous confirmations from Nvidia that it merely had plans to make chips at TSMC's factory in Arizona. Likewise, "production silicon" is very much distinct from "test chips" or "prototype chips" and clearly implies that Nvidia is now using TSMC Arizona to make chips it will actually sell.
