🚀 World-Class AI Powerhouse
Nvidia has announced plans to build one of the world’s most powerful AI supercomputers in Taiwan, featuring over 10,000 next-generation Blackwell GPUs. The system will be hosted at Taiwan’s National Center for High-Performance Computing (NCHC).
CEO Jensen Huang revealed the partnership with Taiwan’s government and Foxconn’s Big Innovation Group during the Computex trade show, positioning the project to support leading academic institutions and chip giant TSMC.
🏢 “Constellation” Headquarters
Huang also unveiled concept footage of Nvidia’s upcoming “Constellation” headquarters in Taipei’s Beitou district. The futuristic design resembles a spacecraft and reflects Nvidia’s expanding presence in Taiwan despite ongoing US-China tensions.
📊 Technical Specifications
The supercomputer will deliver:
- 8x more AI performance than the existing Taiwania 2 system
- Advanced HGX H200 nodes and Blackwell Ultra-based B300 systems
- NVL72 racks connected via Nvidia’s Quantum InfiniBand networking
- Support for sovereign AI projects like TAIDE and Taiwan AI RAP
🌐 Strategic Context
This announcement follows Nvidia’s $500 billion US infrastructure investment pledge amid escalating trade tensions. The company recently agreed to supply Blackwell GPUs to Saudi Arabia’s state-backed AI firm Humain.
The supercomputer will advance research in quantum computing, climate modeling, and epidemic prevention – supporting Taiwan’s push for technological sovereignty.
Market Impact: Nvidia shares rose to $135.40 following the announcement
