Foxconn said on Friday that a $1.4 billion supercomputing centre it is building with Nvidia will be completed in the first half of 2026, Reuters reported Nov. 21. When finished, it will be Taiwan’s largest advanced GPU cluster.
The 27-megawatt facility will use Nvidia’s new Blackwell GB300 chips and is set to become Asia’s first GB300 AI data centre, according to Neo Yao, CEO of Foxconn’s newly formed AI and cloud unit, Visonbay.ai.
At Foxconn’s tech event, Nvidia vice president Alexis Bjorlin said rising GPU performance was changing the economics of data-centre expansion. She said that instead of constructing individual facilities, renting compute capacity could offer companies greater flexibility and a better return on investment.
Foxconn, best known as Apple’s top iPhone assembler, has been broadening its business into electric vehicles and AI data-centre infrastructure. The company is now Nvidia’s main manufacturer of AI racks, which are server systems designed for AI workloads and built to house chips, cables and related equipment.
The expansion has made Foxconn a significant beneficiary of the surge in data-centre spending as cloud providers increase investment in AI research and infrastructure. The company said last week that AI-related demand would be a major driver of growth in 2026.
