Nvidia has announced a strategic alliance with electronics giant Foxconn to develop Taiwan’s most advanced AI supercomputing infrastructure. The project, leveraging Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture, aims to deliver more than 90 exaFLOPS of AI processing capability at the Hon Hai Kaohsiung Supercomputing Center. This initiative is expected to drive innovation in smart manufacturing, healthcare, robotics, and autonomous driving.
The computer will integrate over 2,000 of Nvidia’s GB200 NVL graphics cards to support extensive AI training and will harness Nvidia’s DGX Cloud and Spectrum-X frameworks for robust network communications. The influential collaboration underscores Foxconn’s ambitions in high-performance computing and electric vehicles, signifying their interest in embedding AI deeply within their operations.
As Taiwan continues to position itself as an AI and HPC leader, Foxconn’s new role highlights the island’s pivotal status in global technology advancements. Full deployment of the system is anticipated by 2025, with operations going live in 2026. This move places Taiwan at the center of next-generation AI development, enhancing its global influence across various sectors.
