Cheng Uei Precision Industry Co., Ltd. launched its first supercomputing center in Taiwan, investing NT$63.4 billion (US$2 billion) as the electronics maker pushes into the lucrative AI infrastructure market.
The facility, operated by subsidiary Ubilink, houses 128 Nvidia H100 AI servers with computing power of 45.82 petaflops, positioning it among the top 21 supercomputers globally, according to company data. The center took three months to complete.
Chairman Tai-Ciang Guo said multiple semiconductor manufacturers are testing the facility for IC design and advanced packaging applications. The company expects to reach full capacity utilization in 2025, potentially generating NT$126.8 billion (US$4 billion) in revenue.
Cheng Uei is already planning a second phase expansion using Nvidia’s next-generation GB200 AI servers. The company also aims to develop high-margin components for these servers, including power cables and cooling systems.
UWI Applied Materials Chairman Hu Huisen indicated plans to expand into Japan, citing favorable nuclear power rates and strong government support for computing infrastructure. The move would leverage existing partnerships through Cheng Uei’s affiliate Ubitus, which has established presence in the Japanese market.
The new facility claims to be Asia’s first supercomputing center powered by green energy resources.
