Nvidia and Foxconn Collaborate to Build AI Supercomputer in Taiwan
Nvidia and Foxconn have announced a joint initiative to build a powerful AI supercomputer in Taiwan, with support from the Taiwanese government.
The project is part of an effort led by Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council to strengthen AI development across industries and research fields in the country.
Key Points
AI Factory Setup: The facility, described as an “AI factory,” will run on 10,000 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs, offering high-performance computing for large-scale AI tasks.
System Architecture: It will include Nvidia’s Blackwell Ultra systems and GB300 NVL72 rack-scale solution, with advanced networking technologies such as NVLink, Quantum InfiniBand, and Spectrum-X Ethernet.
Foxconn’s Role: Foxconn will handle infrastructure delivery, serving as an Nvidia Cloud Partner.
TSMC Collaboration: Researchers at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) will use the supercomputer to boost R&D capabilities.
Statement: “By building this AI factory with Nvidia and TSMC, we are laying the groundwork to connect people in Taiwan as well as government organizations and enterprises… to accelerate innovation and empower industries,” said Foxconn Chairman Young Liu.
Additional Developments:
Nvidia is also deepening ties with Taiwanese firms like Acer and Asus to develop high-performance AI desktops.
In the U.S., Nvidia plans to invest up to $500 billion in AI infrastructure with partners over the next four years.
In the Middle East, Nvidia recently agreed to supply AI chips to Saudi Arabia.
The company is also preparing to launch an R&D center in Shanghai to maintain its presence in China amid tightening U.S. export rules.
