Foxconn is expanding its manufacturing operations in Mexico with a new plant dedicated to Nvidia's Blackwell architecture, the recently unveiled GPU designed to accelerate AI and high-performance computing workloads.

 

Foxconn Senior VP Benjamin Ting stated that the company is constructing the largest GB200 production facility in the world, aiming to meet the "massive" demand for AI accelerators in the near future.

 

The plant will reportedly be built in Guadalajara, a Mexican government source confirmed. As the world's largest electronics contract manufacturer, Foxconn was selected by Nvidia as a key partner in bringing the Blackwell chip design to fruition. Foxconn Chairman Young Liu mentioned that the production capacity of the new plant will be "extremely large," though he did not provide specific details.

If this is for Blackwell, then Nvidia must see Blackwell as a chip that will be around for a while.
