The Taiwanese company Foxconn is expanding its artificial intelligence operations. The enterprise is constructing a factory in Mexico that will produce GB200 chips for Nvidia. These components are essential for the new generation of computing platforms, Blackwell, from the American company.
Benjamin Ting, Foxconn's senior vice president for cloud corporate solutions, emphasized the importance of collaboration with Nvidia. According to him, the demand for the Blackwell platform is "extremely high."
Foxconn's CEO, Young Liu, stated that the new factory will have "massive production capabilities." The company has already invested over $500 million in the state of Chihuahua in Mexico.
Liu noted that Foxconn's supply chain is ready for a "revolution in artificial intelligence." The company "possesses advanced liquid cooling and heat dissipation technologies" necessary for the GB200 server infrastructure.
- Foxconn, officially known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd., is the largest contract electronics manufacturer in the world. The company was founded by Taiwanese businessman Terry Gou in 1974. Foxconn is best known as the main manufacturer of Apple products, particularly the iPhone.
- However, the company also produces electronics for many other well-known brands, including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony.
