What Happened: The collaboration includes Foxconn’s subsidiary Big Innovation Co. delivering a supercomputer equipped with 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, representing one of Asia’s most powerful AI computing infrastructures to date.
“AI has ignited a new industrial revolution — science and industry will be transformed,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, at the COMPUTEX technology conference.
The Taiwan National Science and Technology Council will invest in the supercomputer to provide AI cloud computing resources across Taiwan’s technology ecosystem. Officials aim to create “an AI-focused industrial ecosystem in southern Taiwan,” according to Minister Wu Cheng-Wen.
TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, plans to utilize the system to accelerate semiconductor research and development. “By harnessing advanced AI infrastructure, we empower our researchers to accelerate breakthroughs in semiconductor technology,” said C.C. Wei, chairman and CEO of TSMC.
Why It Matters: The system will feature NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra systems, including the NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 rack-scale solution with specialized networking technologies. Big Innovation Cloud will also participate in the NVIDIA DGX Cloud Lepton marketplace, providing enterprises and research institutions access to advanced GPU resources.
Foxconn plans to apply the supercomputer’s capabilities across three core areas: smart cities, electric vehicles, and manufacturing, enhancing Taiwan’s technological competitiveness in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
