Jensen Huang tours booths of Taiwanese partners at GTC conference

California, March 20 (CNA) Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) on Thursday toured the exhibiting booths of the company's Taiwanese partners during Nvidia GTC, a global artificial intelligence conference being held in California.

While meeting Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Chairman Young Liu (劉揚偉) at his company's booth, Huang was given an introduction to Hon Hai's next-generation server rack based on Nvidia's GB300 NVL72 platform.

Hon Hai, the world's largest contract electronics maker, is better known as Foxconn globally. 

According to Nvidia, an American multinational tech firm, the GB300 NVL72 is designed for artificial intelligence (AI) reasoning performance with a fully liquid-cooled, rack-scale design that unifies 72 Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs and 36 ARM-based CPUs in a single platform.

Huang even gave his seal of approval by writing "Foxconn Awesome, Jensen Approved" on the artificial intelligence-powered server rack.

Later, he visited the booth of Pegatron Corp., a leading Taiwan-based artificial intelligence server maker, and met with its Chairman Tung Tzu-hsien (童子賢).

Pegatron also showcased its latest high-density GPU rack featuring Nvidia's GB300 NVL72 platform, which Huang signed "Jensen was here, Pegatron Rocks."

Pegatron has been actively expanding into the booming server market, unveiling a series of products that integrate Nvidia's platform solutions, including the GB300 NVL72.

In a press conference held earlier on Wednesday, the Nvidia CEO said he chose to work with Taiwanese partners due to their high standards, emphasizing that such a partnership is a synergy of strengths, with decades of deepened cooperation fostering strong bonds and jointly making extraordinary achievements.

The five-day Nvidia GTC opened Monday in San Jose with more than 20 Taiwanese tech companies attending the show, either as exhibitors or sponsors.

Other than Hon Hai and Pegatron, other Taiwanese companies included Asus, Quanta Cloud Technology, Delta and Liteon.
