Foxconn and Nvidia to Jointly Develop AI Data Centres

Foxconn (Hon Hai Technology Group), a Taiwanese contract manufacturer, is cooperating with Nvidia to develop artificial intelligence (AI) data centres using the latter's software and chips.

"Foxconn will integrate Nvidia technology to develop a new class of data centres powering a wide range of applications - including digitalization of manufacturing and inspection workflows, development of AI-powered electric vehicle and robotics platforms, and a growing number of language-based generative AI services," the company said in a statement issued on Wednesday.

The collaboration begins with the development of AI factories based on the Nvidia accelerated computing platform, which includes the latest Nvidia GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip and Nvidia GPU computing infrastructure designed specifically for processing, refining, and transforming vast amounts of data into valuable AI models and tokens.

"Most importantly, Nvidia and Foxconn are working together to build these factories." "We will assist the entire industry in moving much more quickly into the new AI era," stated Foxconn Chairman and CEO Young Liu.

"A new type of manufacturing has emerged: intelligence production." And the data centres that generate it are AI factories," Huang explained. "As the world's largest manufacturer, Foxconn has the expertise and scale to build AI factories around the world." We are thrilled to deepen our decade-long collaboration with Foxconn to speed the AI industrial revolution."

Nvidia HGX reference designs with eight Nvidia H100 Tensor Core GPUs per system, Nvidia GH200 Superchips, Nvidia OVX reference designs, and Nvidia networking are expected to be used by Foxconn.
