Foxconn's subsidiary Big Innovation Company wants to build a supercomputer for cloud-based AI services. According to Nvidia, it will run with 10,000 Blackwell GPUs. The news agency Reuters reports that the data center will be built in several stages and will require up to 100 megawatts of electrical power in the final expansion stage. Cooling in particular requires a lot of electrical energy. Further details are still unknown, such as which Blackwell expansion stage and which processors will be used.
According to Nvidia, the new supercomputer will help Taiwan to drive forward automation and efficiency in the areas of smart cities, electromobility and manufacturing. The aim is to connect industries, citizens and government organizations more closely in order to accelerate growth with the help of AI. According to Nvidia, Taiwan's government also wants to invest in the project.
