Here’s How Foxconn’s Capabilities Will Aid Nvidia’s GB200
Foxconn is well known as iPhone maker Apple’s (AAPL) assembler and supplier. The Taiwanese company also makes servers, giving it a big push in the current AI (artificial intelligence) boom. Foxconn also manufactures advanced liquid cooling and heat dissipation technologies that are complementary to Nvidia’s GB200 server infrastructure.
Nvidia’s Blackwell chips are expected to start selling in the fourth quarter. Recently, NVDA CEO Jensen Huang noted that the demand for Blackwell chips is “insane.”
The Blackwell chips boast 2.5x more computing power than the currently available Hopper chips. The Blackwell chips are expected to accelerate the generative AI capabilities for corporates as they launch newer versions and advanced gen-AI technology.
