"We're building the largest GB200 production facility on the planet," said Benjamin Ting, Foxconn senior vice president for the cloud enterprise solutions business group, at the company's annual "Hon Hai Tech Day" in Taipei Tuesday. ”Everyone is asking for Nvidia's Blackwell chips, the demand is awfully huge.”

Foxconn Chairman Young Liu said at the same event that Foxconn would be "the first to ship these superchips". He then told reporters the new plant was being built in Mexico and its capacity would be “very, very enormous.” Reuters quoted a Mexican government source that the plant would be built in the city of Guadalajara,a city in western Mexico.

Once put into operation in 2025, the facility is expected to become the largest in the world for assembling motherboards and servers for Nvidia Blackwell-based servers. The plant's planned capacity is 20,000 servers, presumably per month, which means 240,000 machines per year. Blackwell is also known under the brand name GB200. The GB200 chip, a crucial component of the Blackwell platform, is driving the development of advanced AI applications across various sectors.
