TAIPEI (Reuters) -Foxconn is building the world’s largest Nvidia GB200 chip manufacturing facility to help meet “terribly high” demand for the AI darling’s Blackwell platform, a senior executive at the Taiwanese company said on Tuesday.
Foxconn, the world’s largest contract electronics manufacturer and better known as Apple’s largest iPhone assembler, has benefited from the rise of artificial intelligence as it also makes servers.
Benjamin Ting, Foxconn’s senior vice president for the cloud enterprise solutions business group, said the partnership between his company and Nvidia was very important.
“We are building the largest GB200 production facility in the world – I don’t think I can say where right now,” Ting said at the company’s annual technology day in Taipei.
He added that everyone was asking for Nvidia’s Blackwell platform.
“The demand is extremely high,” Ting added, alongside Nvidia’s vice president for AI and robotics, Deepu Talla.
Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang appeared at Foxconn’s technology day last year, but Talla said Huang wanted to attend this year but couldn’t.
