System will contain 10,000 Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs.
Nvidia and Foxconn are working with the Taiwanese government to build an AI supercomputer.
Announced by Nvidia at Computex in Taiwan, the supercomputer will consist of 10,000 Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs, with Big Innovation Company – a Foxconn subsidiary and Nvidia cloud partner – providing the AI infrastructure.
The Blackwell systems featured in the supercomputer will include the GB300 NVL72, connected by NVLink, Nvidia Quantum InfiniBand, and Nvidia Spectrum-X ethernet networking.
According to Nvidia, the Taiwan National Science and Technology Council will use the system to provide AI cloud computing resources to industries across Taiwan. Researchers from TSMC will also have access to the supercomputer, while Foxconn will use it to “accelerate automation and efficiency across its three core pillars — smart cities, electric vehicles, and manufacturing.”
No details about when the supercomputer is expected to come online have been shared.
“AI has ignited a new industrial revolution — science and industry will be transformed,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia. “We are delighted to partner with Foxconn and Taiwan to help build Taiwan's AI infrastructure, and to support TSMC and other leading companies to advance innovation in the age of AI and robotics.”
Young Liu, chairman and CEO of Foxconn, added: “Foxconn builds technology that underpins modern life, and now, we’re building computing infrastructure to scale the next generation of breakthroughs across Taiwan.
"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 such as TSMC to accelerate innovation and empower industries.”
