Foxconn building world’s largest Nvidia superchip factory
The exact location of the new facility was not made public.
FOXCONN is building the world’s largest Nvidia GB200 chip manufacturing facility to help meet “awfully huge” demand for the AI darling’s Blackwell platform, a senior executive at the Taiwanese company said on Tuesday (Oct 8).
Foxconn – the world’s largest contract electronics manufacturer and better know as Apple’s biggest iPhone assembler – has been benefiting from the artificial intelligence boom given it also makes servers.
Benjamin Ting, Foxconn’s senior vice-president for the cloud enterprise solutions business group, said that the partnership between his company and Nvidia was very important.
“We are building the largest GB200 production facility on the planet. I don’t think I can say where now,” he said at the company’s annual tech day in Taipei.
He added that everyone was asking for Nvidia’s Blackwell platform.
“The demand is awfully huge,” Ting added at the event where he stood next to Nvidia’s vice-president for AI and robotics, Deepu Talla.
