TAIPEI, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Foxconn is building

the world's largest Nvidia GB200 chip manufacturing facility to

help meet "awfully huge" demand for the AI darling's Blackwell

platform, a senior executive at the Taiwanese company said on

Tuesday.

Foxconn, the world's largest contract electronics

manufacturer and better know as Apple's ( AAPL ) biggest iPhone

assembler, has been benefiting from the artificial intelligence

boom given it also makes servers.

Benjamin Ting, Foxconn senior vice president for the cloud

enterprise solutions business group, said that the partnership

between his company and Nvidia ( NVDA ) was very important.

"We're building the largest GB200 production facility on the

planet - I don't think I can say where now," Ting said at the

company's annual tech day in Taipei.

He added that everyone was asking for Nvidia's ( NVDA ) Blackwell

platform.

"The demand is awfully huge," Ting added, standing next to

Nvidia's ( NVDA ) vice president for AI and robotics, Deepu Talla.

Nvidia's ( NVDA ) CEO Jensen Huang appeared at Foxconn's tech day

last year, but Talla said that while Huang wanted to be there

this year he was not able to make it.
