Contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) and Taiwanese electronic components giant Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密) are among the world’s leading companies that have adopted US chip designer Nvidia Corp’s RTX Pro Servers to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) reasoning, physical AI and business workloads.
RTX Pro Servers, which are equipped with up to eight Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition graphics processing units, are available in multiple configurations from the world’s major system suppliers, Nvidia said.

“The age of AI has arrived — and enterprises can no longer rely on classical servers alone. They must re-architect 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 [information technology] IT workloads while powering the AI agents that will transform every company and every industry.”
Leading global enterprises — including Taiwan’s TSMC, Hon Hai, Pegatron Corp (和碩), Quanta Cloud Technology Inc (雲達科技) and Wistron Corp (緯創); Germany’s Siemens SE; Japan’s Hitachi Ltd; South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Group; and the US’ Walt Disney Co and Eli Lilly & Co — have adopted Nvidia RTX Pro Servers, Nvidia said.
Elon Musk’s lieutenants have reached out to chip industry suppliers, including Applied Materials Inc, Tokyo Electron Ltd and Lam Research Corp, for his envisioned Terafab, early steps in an audacious and likely arduous attempt to break into the production of cutting-edge chips. Staff working for the joint venture between Tesla Inc and Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SpaceX) have sought price quotes and delivery times for an array of chipmaking gear, people familiar with the matter said. In past weeks, they’ve contacted makers of photomasks, substrates, etchers, depositors, cleaning devices, testers and other tools, according to the people, who asked not to
Taichung reported the steepest fall in completed home prices among the six special municipalities in the first quarter of this year, data compiled by Taiwan Realty Co (台灣房屋) showed yesterday. From January through last month, the average transaction price for completed homes in Taichung fell 8 percent from a year earlier to NT$299,000 (US$9,483) per ping (3.3m²), said Taiwan Realty, which compiled the data based on the government’s price registration platform. The decline could be attributed to many home buyers choosing relatively affordable used homes to live in themselves, instead of newly built homes in the city’s prime property market, Taiwan Realty
JET JUICE: The war on Iran’s secondary effects have seen fuel prices skyrocket, knocking flight schedules down to earth in return as airlines struggle with costs Airline passengers should brace for more irritation in the next few months as carriers worldwide cancel flights and ground planes to cope with stratospheric increases in jet-fuel prices. Dutch flag carrier KLM is the latest company to cut its schedule, saying on Thursday that it would scrap 80 return flights at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport in the coming month. That puts it in the same league as United Airlines Holdings Inc, Deutsche Lufthansa AG and Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd, which have all pruned itineraries to mitigate costs. Global capacity for next month has been reduced by about 3 percentage points, with all
Taiwan is attracting a growing number of foreign jobseekers as companies increasingly recruit overseas talent to ease labor shortages and expand global reach, recruitment platform 104 Job Bank (104人力銀行) said yesterday. More than 40,000 foreign nationals searched for jobs in Taiwan through the platform last year, a 28 percent increase from a year earlier, the company said. Malaysians accounted for the largest share of overseas jobseekers at 12.2 percent, followed by Indonesians at 11.9 percent and Vietnamese at 10.8 percent. Indonesian applicants surged more than 50 percent year-on-year, while Vietnamese jobseekers rose by more than 30 percent. Applicants from the
