Foxconn has confirmed that its first servers based on Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs will be available this year. However, they will only be available in low quantities. The company stressed that even if it cannot ship GB200-based machines in sizeable quantities this year, demand for AI servers is so high that it will meet its sales targets by selling existing Nvidia Hopper-powered machines.
"We are on track to develop and prepare the manufacturing of the new [Nvidia] AI server to start shipping in small volumes in the last quarter of 2024 and increase the production volume in the first quarter of next year," said James Wu, a spokesperson for Foxconn, in an earnings call with analysts and investors, reports Nikkei.
