Pegatron Corp (和碩) expects triple-digit server revenue growth this quarter from last quarter on the back of strong customer demand, and holds a more optimistic outlook for its server business in the second half of the year than the first, company cochief executive officer Johnson Teng (鄧國彥) said at the Computex trade show in Taipei on Tuesday.
The electronics manufacturer, and one of Apple Inc’s iPhone assemblers, would ship more server samples this quarter and expects annual server revenue to double from last year, Teng said.

At Computex, Pegatron is exhibiting its products in four focus areas: high-performance computing, e-mobility and automotive systems, telecommunications and network solutions, and consumer, aesthetic and assisted living applications.
One of its latest products is the RA4802-72N2 rack, a liquid-cooled high-density graphics processing unit (GPU) rack featuring Nvidia’s GB300 NVL72. The rack, equipped with 72 Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs and 36 Grace CPUs, could boost artificial intelligence (AI) output up to 50-fold, with optimized inference performance and an in-house coolant unit to improve thermal efficiency in high-density setups, the company said.
Pegatron would continue working with Nvidia on GB300 solutions to serve existing customers, while also seeking to attract new customers, Pegatron co-CEO Gary Cheng (鄭光志) said.
The company has also identified potential opportunities in Japan and the Middle East, and hopes to achieve some progress in the near term, Cheng said.
Pegatron chairman Tung Tzu-hsien (童子賢) said the rise of AI has helped Taiwan solidify its leading position in the industry, and develop close partnerships with Silicon Valley and US brand customers.
Tung said that this year’s Computex would help the world recognize the importance of hardware manufacturing and reassess the value of Taiwanese suppliers.
“Just as a fence needs three stakes for support, a hero needs allies to succeed,” Tung said, adding that Taiwan can be the most friendly, diligent and proactive partner for the global technology industry amid the AI revolution.
Pegatron’s quadruped robot dog, Simba, is also on display at the company’s booth, with Tung saying that more animal-inspired robots equipped with advanced intelligence, mobility and sensors, such as robot camels, elephants or buffaloes, might one day assist humans with tasks.
The Eurovision Song Contest has seen a surge in punter interest at the bookmakers, becoming a major betting event, experts said ahead of last night’s giant glamfest in Basel. “Eurovision has quietly become one of the biggest betting events of the year,” said Tomi Huttunen, senior manager of the Online Computer Finland (OCS) betting and casino platform. Betting sites have long been used to gauge which way voters might be leaning ahead of the world’s biggest televised live music event. However, bookmakers highlight a huge increase in engagement in recent years — and this year in particular. “We’ve already passed 2023’s total activity and
Nvidia Corp CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) today announced that his company has selected "Beitou Shilin" in Taipei for its new Taiwan office, called Nvidia Constellation, putting an end to months of speculation. Industry sources have said that the tech giant has been eyeing the Beitou Shilin Science Park as the site of its new overseas headquarters, and speculated that the new headquarters would be built on two plots of land designated as "T17" and "T18," which span 3.89 hectares in the park. "I think it's time for us to reveal one of the largest products we've ever built," Huang said near the
China yesterday announced anti-dumping duties as high as 74.9 percent on imports of polyoxymethylene (POM) copolymers, a type of engineering plastic, from Taiwan, the US, the EU and Japan. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce’s findings conclude a probe launched in May last year, shortly after the US sharply increased tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, computer chips and other imports. POM copolymers can partially replace metals such as copper and zinc, and have various applications, including in auto parts, electronics and medical equipment, the Chinese ministry has said. In January, it said initial investigations had determined that dumping was taking place, and implemented preliminary
Intel Corp yesterday reinforced its determination to strengthen its partnerships with Taiwan’s ecosystem partners including original-electronic-manufacturing (OEM) companies such as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密) and chipmaker United Microelectronics Corp (UMC, 聯電). “Tonight marks a new beginning. We renew our new partnership with Taiwan ecosystem,” Intel new chief executive officer Tan Lip-bu (陳立武) said at a dinner with representatives from the company’s local partners, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the US chip giant’s presence in Taiwan. Tan took the reins at Intel six weeks ago aiming to reform the chipmaker and revive its past glory. This is the first time Tan
