Foxconn Teams Up with Nvidia on New AI Supercomputing Hub in Asia
During his Computex 2025 keynote , Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced a major collaboration with Foxconn to build an AI supercomputer in Taiwan . The project, developed in partnership with Foxconn’s subsidiary Big Innovation Company , will serve as part of the Nvidia Cloud ecosystem , supporting a deployment of 10,000 Blackwell GPUs — a significant investment valued at several hundred million dollars.
While smaller than Elon Musk’s rumored 200,000-GPU Memphis cluster, the system is still a powerful leap forward, promising “orders of magnitude faster performance” than previous generations. It will be used by Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council to boost AI adoption across public and private sectors, and by TSMC — Nvidia’s key chipmaker — for advanced R&D.
Huang described AI as “a new industrial revolution,” emphasizing Nvidia’s commitment to helping Taiwan strengthen its AI infrastructure and support innovation in robotics and next-gen computing.
Nvidia is rapidly expanding its global R&D presence , despite growing geopolitical tensions. Recent reports suggest the company is planning a new research center in Shanghai , even as U.S. export restrictions block the sale of its China-specific H20 AI GPU — a move that cost Nvidia over $5.5 billion in lost revenue.
At the same time, the company is investing more than half a trillion dollars in building AI servers across the U.S. , aiming to establish a full-scale supply chain from chips to data centers.
As the world’s top provider of AI hardware, Nvidia walks a tightrope between Washington and Beijing . While U.S. officials push for a full cutoff of advanced tech to China, the company warns that stepping back could allow rivals like Huawei to set the pace in global AI innovation — potentially undermining American leadership in the field.
