TAIPEI, March 19 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Foxconn,
the world's largest contract electronics maker and Apple's ( AAPL )
main iPhone maker, expects its server revenue to
surpass its revenue from iPhones within two years, Taiwan's
Central News Agency reported.
Foxconn Chairman Young Liu, asked by the news agency on the
sidelines of Nvidia's ( NVDA ) annual developer conference GTC
on Tuesday on whether its server revenue would surpass its
iPhone revenue, said it would "definitely happen within two
years", according to the report.
It also quoted him as saying that it could even be achieved
as early as this year.
Foxconn manufactures Nvidia's ( NVDA ) latest artificial intelligence
servers, including Nvidia's ( NVDA ) GB200 and GB300 products. The
company confirmed Liu's comments to Reuters on Wednesday
"We do most of the Nvidia ( NVDA ) systems, not 100% of them, but
most of them," Liu said in a live podcast with The Acquired at
GTC.
Liu said in the company's earnings call last week that its
AI server revenue is set to reach T$1 trillion ($30.29
billion)this year to account for more than half of the company's
total server revenue.
He added that its revenue from cloud and networking
products, driven by strong demand for AI servers, will approach
that of smart consumer electronics, including iPhones, this
year.
In 2024, 30% of the company's revenue came from cloud and
networking products, while 46% came from smart consumer
electronics.
