The new 27-megawatt data center will be Asia's first AI center powered by Nvidia's latest Blackwell GB300 chips. The project will be handled by Foxconn's new division called Visonbay.ai, created specifically for AI supercomputing and cloud operations. The project is estimated to cost $1.4 billion.
Nvidia Vice President Alexis Bjorlin emphasized the importance of this infrastructure, noting that renting computing resources can offer a much better return on investment than building your own facilities.
The investment underscores Foxconn’s strategic shift away from purely electronics assembly to more high-tech industries such as AI data centers and electric vehicles. Foxconn is currently the primary manufacturer of AI racks for Nvidia, which are a key component for expanding cloud companies’ AI infrastructure.
Foxconn Chairman Yang Liu said the company plans to invest $2 billion to $3 billion a year in AI. In addition, the company already has the capacity to produce 1,000 AI racks per week, and expects that figure to increase next year.
Recall that the founder of Foxconn, 75-year-old billionaire Terry Gou, during his election campaign for the post of president of Taiwan, stated that if he was elected, the island would not become a "second Ukraine." These slogans ultimately did not help him and he lost the election.
