Nvidia's Phoenix Expansion: A New Epicenter for AI Manufacturing to the Canvas

Nvidia's expansion in Phoenix, driven by partnerships with TSMC, SPIL, and Amkor, signals a significant shift in U.S. AI infrastructure manufacturing. This move goes beyond a win for Nvidia, establishing Phoenix as a key U.S. hub where chip design, testing, packaging, and supercomputing converge—a stark contrast to the current concentration in facilities in Taiwan and Texas.

This development is reshaping the geography of high-performance AI computing as supply chains are being rewritten, influenced by tariffs and a broader push for increased U.S.-based manufacturing. The expansion is poised to have a substantial economic impact, fostering job creation, capital flow, and infrastructure development in the region.

Hamid Shojaee and Earnings Hub Prime Time Commercial

Arizona software founder Hamid Shojaee is taking his company, Earnings Hub, to the big screen with this catchy commercial airing soon on CNBC:

Earnings Hub centralizes all the information surrounding public company quarterly estimates, results, and live and recorded calls. What was an otherwise fragmented process of digging up intel, with Earnings Hub, it is now on one dashboard with a simple calendar view and a curated list of recent stock news.

Earnings Hub is one of two current SaaS products that Hamid and team are building. The other is called Savvy Trader, and it allows you to track the stock trades of notable investors, or, in the case of being a finance influencer, it allows you to build community and monetize your portfolio by sharing real-time trades and commentary. 

This isn't the first go round for Hamid as he has successfully exited Axosoft and GitKraken (software for software developers) that previously had its HQ in North Scottsdale in the 101 / Raintree business park.

Be sure to check out the funny commercial and corresponding Arizona-made FinTech products.
