TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Nvidia announced Tuesday (Oct. 8) that Foxconn will build Taiwan’s largest supercomputer in Kaohsiung using its Blackwell architecture.

According to a Monday (Oct. 7) press release, Nvidia said the supercomputer will feature the GB200 NVL72 platform, which includes 64 racks and 4,608 Tensor Core GPUs. The project will integrate Nvidia’s latest technologies including 3D platform Omniverse and robot development platform Isaac.

“The GB200 NVL72 is a state-of-the-art data center platform optimized for AI and accelerated computing,” Nvidia explained. “Each rack features 36 NVIDIA Grace CPUs and 72 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs connected via Nvidia’s NVLink technology, delivering 130 TB/s of bandwidth.”

Nvidia said construction on the supercomputer has already begun. The first phase will be operational by mid-2025, with full deployment in 2026.

Meanwhile, at Hon Hai Tech Day on Tuesday, Foxconn Chair Young Liu (劉揚偉) said the company will be the first to mass produce and ship Nvidia’s GB200 servers, per CNA. He also said the planned Kaohsiung supercomputer will use the same servers, which themselves are based on Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture.

Foxconn holds a 40% global market share for servers, making it the world’s largest server manufacturer, Liu added.
