TSMC, Hon Hai among global firms using Nvidia's RTX Pro Servers for AI acceleration

Taipei, Aug. 30 (CNA) Contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and Taiwanese electronics component giant Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. are among the world's leading companies that have adopted U.S.-based artificial intelligence chip designer Nvidia Corp.'s RTX Pro Servers to accelerate AI reasoning, physical AI, and business workloads.

According to Nvidia, RTX PRO Servers, which are equipped with up to eight Nvidia RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition graphics processing units (GPUs), are available in multiple configurations from the world's major system suppliers.

Without a complete data center overhaul, Nvidia said, enterprise users can adopt Nvidia RTX PRO Servers to transition from general-purpose clusters to AI factory infrastructure.

"The age of AI has arrived -- and enterprises can no longer rely on classical servers alone. They must rearchitect for AI," Nvidia Founder and CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) said in a statement. "Nvidia RTX PRO is the computing platform built for this moment -- running today's IT workloads while powering the AI agents that will transform every company and every industry."

Nvidia said leading enterprises in the world, including Taiwan's TSMC, Hon Hai, Pegatron Corp., Quanta Cloud Technology Inc., and Wistron Corp., Germany's Siemens, Japan's Hitachi Ltd., South Korea's Hyundai Motor Group, and U.S.-based Disney and Eli Lilly, have adopted Nvidia RTX PRO Servers.

In response, TSMC Chairman C.C. Wei (魏哲家) said in the same statement that semiconductors serve as the backbone of AI, empowering breakthroughs that are redefining every industry.

"Through our close partnership with Nvidia, TSMC is advancing semiconductor manufacturing and optimizing our fab operations with Blackwell-powered AI factories, including the utilization of the latest RTX PRO Servers -- driving efficiency and innovation throughout the industry," Wei said.

For his part, Hon Hai Chairman Young Liu (劉揚偉) said that to achieve digital transformation in smart manufacturing, the right foundation and technology are required.

"By introducing RTX PRO Servers into our global infrastructure, Foxconn is redefining the boundaries of AI-driven automation -- from sophisticated robotics to intelligent logistics and smart electric vehicles," Liu said.

In a separate statement, Wistron said the company had brought the latest Nvidia RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPU to its cutting-edge AI server platform and manufacturing operations to optimize operational costs, specifically lowering the cost per token processed per second, which is expected to ensure enterprises gain maximum return on investment.
