Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密) expects server revenue to exceed its iPhone revenue within two years, with the possibility of achieving this goal as early as this year, chairman Young Liu (劉揚偉) said on Tuesday at Nvidia Corp’s annual technology conference in San Jose, California.
AI would be the primary focus this year for the company, also known as Foxconn Technology Group (富士康科技集團), as rapidly advancing AI applications are driving up demand for AI servers, Liu said.
The production and shipment of Nvidia’s GB200 chips and the anticipated launch of GB300 chips in the second half of the year would propel Hon Hai’s strong revenue growth, he said.

Liu’s remarks came as the company showcased new AI server racks and other products at the weeklong GPU Technology Conference (GTC). He led a delegation of more than 70 engineers and executives to the event this year, doubling the size from last year. The company is among more than 20 Taiwanese companies joining this year’s GTC.
Hon Hai was the first of Nvidia’s AI server partners to display new-generation AI server racks at the event, with its GB300 NVL72 server rack featuring Nvidia’s new Blackwell Ultra graphics processing units, 36 of Nvidia’s Grace central processing units, advanced superchip ecosystems, liquid cooling technology and Nvidia’s Omniverse digital twin technology.
The company’s subsidiary Ingrasys Technology Inc (鴻佰科技) is supplying the new liquid cooling solutions to AI server racks equipped with GB300 chips, it said.
Hon Hai, which Liu said is currently the world’s largest AI server supplier, is ramping up production of those high-end servers based on Nvidia's GB200 chips after starting small-volume production in December last year.
At the event, the company also showcased several automated machines, including hybrid robots that integrate high-end visual recognition, and precision motion technologies that support the semiconductor industry and automation needs.
The company’s AI nursing robot, Nurabot, made its debut at the GTC. Nurabot is designed to optimize medical workflows and enhance patient care, Hon Hai said.
The robot would first enter service at Taichung Veterans General Hospital and in the company’s partner hospitals in Taiwan later this year, it said.
In addition to Hon Hai, Wiwynn Corp (緯穎) showcased a series of new servers based on Nvidia’s GB300 NVL72 in collaboration with its parent company, Wistron Corp (緯創).
Wiwynn is one of the first electronics makers to supply GB200 NVL 72 server racks, the company said.
Wiwynn also demonstrated new AI servers running on Nvidia’s HGX B300 NVL 16, as well as a direct liquid cooling rack, the company said.
Meanwhile, Asustek Computer Inc (華碩) exhibited new AI pods, server racks equipped with Nvidia’s GB300 NVL72, and servers running on Nvidia B200 NVL8 and HGX H200 chips.
The company has secured orders for the new AI pods, it said.

SEEKING CLARITY: Washington should not adopt measures that create uncertainties for ‘existing semiconductor investments,’ TSMC said referring to its US$165 billion in the US Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) told the US that any future tariffs on Taiwanese semiconductors could reduce demand for chips and derail its pledge to increase its investment in Arizona. “New import restrictions could jeopardize current US leadership in the competitive technology industry and create uncertainties for many committed semiconductor capital projects in the US, including TSMC Arizona’s significant investment plan in Phoenix,” the chipmaker wrote in a letter to the US Department of Commerce. TSMC issued the warning in response to a solicitation for comments by the department on a possible tariff on semiconductor imports by US President Donald Trump’s
The government has launched a three-pronged strategy to attract local and international talent, aiming to position Taiwan as a new global hub following Nvidia Corp’s announcement that it has chosen Taipei as the site of its Taiwan headquarters. Nvidia cofounder and CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) on Monday last week announced during his keynote speech at the Computex trade show in Taipei that the Nvidia Constellation, the company’s planned Taiwan headquarters, would be located in the Beitou-Shilin Technology Park (北投士林科技園區) in Taipei. Huang’s decision to establish a base in Taiwan is “primarily due to Taiwan’s talent pool and its strength in the semiconductor
An earnings report from semiconductor giant and artificial intelligence (AI) bellwether Nvidia Corp takes center stage for Wall Street this week, as stocks hit a speed bump of worries over US federal deficits driving up Treasury yields. US equities pulled back last week after a torrid rally, as investors turned their attention to tax and spending legislation poised to swell the US government’s US$36 trillion in debt. Long-dated US Treasury yields rose amid the fiscal worries, with the 30-year yield topping 5 percent and hitting its highest level since late 2023. Stocks were dealt another blow on Friday when US President Donald
UNCERTAINTY: Investors remain worried that trade negotiations with Washington could go poorly, given Trump’s inconsistency on tariffs in his second term, experts said The consumer confidence index this month fell for a ninth consecutive month to its lowest level in 13 months, as global trade uncertainties and tariff risks cloud Taiwan’s economic outlook, a survey released yesterday by National Central University found. The biggest decline came from the timing for stock investments, which plunged 11.82 points to 26.82, underscoring bleak investor confidence, it said. “Although the TAIEX reclaimed the 21,000-point mark after the US and China agreed to bury the hatchet for 90 days, investors remain worried that the situation would turn sour later,” said Dachrahn Wu (吳大任), director of the university’s Research Center for
