Foxconn is constructing in Mexico the world’s largest manufacturing facility for bundling Nvidia’s GB200 superchips, a key element of the US agency’s next-generation Blackwell household computing platform, senior executives on the Taiwanese firm stated on Tuesday.
Foxconn, the world’s largest contract electronics producer and often known as Apple’s greatest iPhone assembler, has been benefiting from the Synthetic Intelligence (AI) increase because it assembles servers used to course of AI work.
“We’re constructing the most important GB200 manufacturing facility on the planet,” stated Benjamin Ting, Foxconn senior vp for the cloud enterprise options enterprise group.
Nvidia stated in August that it had began delivery Blackwell samples to its companions and clients after tweaking its design, and anticipated a number of billion {dollars} in income from these chips within the fourth quarter.
Ting stated the partnership between his firm and Nvidia was crucial and everybody was asking for Nvidia’s Blackwell platform.
“The demand is very big,” Ting stated on the firm’s annual tech day in Taipei, standing subsequent to Nvidia’s vp for AI and robotics, Deepu Talla.

Foxconn’s different focus is formidable plans to diversify away from its position of constructing shopper electronics for Apple, hoping to make use of its tech know-how to supply EV contract manufacturing and in addition produce autos utilizing fashions constructed by Foxtron model.
Requested about fierce competitors within the world electrical automobile market amid slowing demand, Liu stated Foxconn was dedicated to the sector.
“It’s the proper course and we are going to proceed to work arduous in direction of that,” he stated, including that with the EVs, the “engine barrier” not exists in automotive manufacturing.
Automakers “needn’t make the entire automotive themselves anymore”, he stated.
