Taipei (Reuters) -Taiwan’s Foxconn, the largest contractual electronics manufacturer in the world, said a artificial intelligence The center he announced with Nvidia will be built in phases and should have 100 megawatts of power.
The president of Foxconn, Young Liu, was expressed at the annual Taipei show, the Calpex fair one day after Nvidia announced that it was building a giant IA supercomputer in Taiwan in partnership with Foxconn, the manufacturer of contractual chips TSMC and the government.
Liu has said that the AI data center will require massive power and will be built in phases, some planned in the southwest city of Kaohsiung and others potentially located in other cities of Taiwan, depending on the availability of energy.
“This AI data center should have 100 megawatts of power,” he said. “We know that power is a very critical resource in Taiwan. I do not want to use the word” shortage “. It will therefore take a few steps to reach 100 megawatts. We will start with 20 megawatts … then add 40 years.”
The CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, speaking during the same event, said that the Center of AI was for the whole Taiwan ecosystem to use.
“We are going to build an AI factory for you (Foxconn) to use, for me to use, and for Taiwan the whole ecosystem to use, said @ Huang, adding that nvidia has 350 partners in Taiwan.
