Foxconn and NVIDIA Join Forces to Build Taiwan’s Fastest AI Supercomputer
In a groundbreaking collaboration, Foxconn, the world’s largest electronics manufacturer, and NVIDIA, a leading chipmaker, are set to construct Taiwan’s fastest AI supercomputer. This ambitious project will harness the power of NVIDIA’s flagship Blackwell platform, marking a significant milestone in the realm of artificial intelligence and supercomputing.
AI Supercomputer Project Details
The AI supercomputer, to be housed at the Hon Hai Kaohsiung Supercomputing Center, will leverage NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture. Utilizing the GB200 NVL72 data centre platform, this system is poised to become a powerhouse of computational capability. The project is expected to be operational by mid-2025, with full deployment anticipated in 2026.
According to James Wu, Vice President and Spokesperson for Foxconn, “Powered by NVIDIA’s Blackwell platform, Foxconn’s new AI supercomputer is one of the most powerful in the world, representing a significant leap forward in AI computing and efficiency.”
Impact on AI Research and Development
Once operational, the supercomputer will play a crucial role in advancing cancer research, developing large language models, and innovating smart city technologies. This initiative is part of Foxconn’s “three-platform strategy,” which focuses on smart manufacturing, smart cities, and electric vehicles.
The supercomputer will support advancements in digital twins, robotic automation, and urban infrastructure, establishing Taiwan as a leader on the global AI map. The integration of NVIDIA technologies like Omniverse and Isaac robotics will enhance manufacturing processes and drive technological innovation.
Future Prospects
This collaboration between Foxconn and NVIDIA not only highlights the potential of AI supercomputers but also sets the stage for future advancements in AI research and development. With Taiwan at the forefront of AI technology, the country is poised to make significant contributions to the global AI landscape.
