NVIDIA and Foxconn have teamed up to build what they are calling an AI factory supercomputer in Taiwan. The project, which NVIDIA announced at Computex , will "deliver state-of-the-art NVIDIA Blackwell infrastructure to researchers, startups and industries," according to the company. NVIDIA is building a new local headquarters in Taiwan as well.

The supercomputer will be powered by 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs. NVIDIA says the project will greatly increase the availability of AI computing and bolster local researchers and businesses. As it happens, the Taiwan National Science and Technology Council is investing in the project. It will offer the supercomputer's AI cloud computing resources to those in its tech ecosystem.

"Our plan is to create an AI-focused industrial ecosystem in southern Taiwan," Minister Wu Cheng-Wen of the council said in a statement . "We are focused on investing in innovative research, developing a strong AI industry and encouraging the everyday use of AI tools. Our ultimate goal is to create a smart AI island filled with smart cities, and we look forward to collaborating with NVIDIA and [Foxconn] to make this vision a reality."

ADVERTISEMENTAdvertisement Foxconn, which is providing the supercomputer's AI infrastructure through its Big Innovation Company subsidiary, will also use the system to further its work in smart cities, electric vehicles and manufacturing. For instance, it aims to optimize connected transportation systems and other "civil resources" in smart cities, and develop advanced driver-assistance and safety systems.

TSMC is looking to benefit from the project as well. The company's researchers will tap into the supercomputer's power in the hope of accelerating their R&D work.
