  글로벌 AI 팩토리 경쟁의 서막 엔비디아와 폭스콘, TSMC, 대만 정부가 손잡고 대만에 대규모 AI 팩토리 건설을 발표했다. 이 프로젝트는 10000개의 엔비디아 블랙웰 GPU를 활용해 최첨단 AI 슈퍼컴퓨터를 구축하는 것을 목표로 한다. 폭스콘 자회사인 빅 이노베이션 컴퍼니가 주도하며, 대만의 AI 인프라와 기술 생태계를 한 단계 끌어올릴 전망이다. 젠슨 황 엔비디아 CEO는 컴퓨텍스 2025 기조연설에서 "AI 팩토리는 전기를 원료로 지능을 생산하는 공장"이라며, 이 프로젝트가 대만을 글로벌 AI 혁신의 중심지로 만들 것이라고 강조했다. 이와 동시에 한국과 사우디아라비아도 각각 대규모 AI 컴퓨팅 센터와 AI 팩토리 건설 계획을 공개하며 글로벌 AI 경쟁이 본격화되고 있다. 대만의 AI 팩토리는 단순한 데이터센터를 넘어 스마트 시티, 전기차, 제조업 등 다양한 산업에 AI 기술을 접목할 계획이다. 대만 국가과학기술위원회(NSTC)는 이 인프라를 통해 연구자와 스타트업, 기업들이 AI 개발에 필요한 컴퓨팅 자원을 활용할 수 있도록 지원한다. TSMC는 이 팩토리를 활용해 반도체 설계와 제조 공정에서 AI 기반 연구개발을 가속화할 예정이다. 영 리우 폭스콘 회장은 "이 프로젝트는 대만 전역에 차세대 혁신을 확산하고, 정부와 기업을 연결해 산업 경쟁력을 강화할 것"이라고 밝혔다. 대만 AI 팩토리의 기술적 특징과 기대 효과 이 AI 팩토리는 엔비디아의 최신 블랙웰 울트라 시스템과 GB300 NVL72 랙 스케일 솔루션, NVLink, Quantum InfiniBand, Spectrum-X 이더넷 네트워킹 기술을 통합한다. 이러한 첨단 기술은 기존 시스템 대비 컴퓨팅 성능을 획기적으로 향상시키며, 대규모 언어 모델(LLM) 학습, 디지털 트윈, 자율주행 AI 개발 등 고도화된 작업을 지원한다. 특히 10000개의 블랙웰 GPU는 초고속 병렬 연산을 통해 AI 모델의 학습 속도를 단축하고, 에너지 효율성을 극대화한다....

Groundbreaking Remedies Unveil New Era for Automotive Tech Explosive Outcome of Googles Antitrust Battle in Germany In a stunning turn of events, the German Federal Cartel Office, widely known as the Bundeskartellamt, has officially terminated its high stakes antitrust investigation into Googles in car services and automotive maps platform. This decision comes after Google agreed to implement sweeping changes that promise to reshape the competitive landscape of automotive infotainment systems not just in Germany, but across Europe. The resolution, hailed as a victory for fair competition, stems from concerns over Googles bundled offerings, which regulators feared stifled innovation and restricted market access for rivals. With the tech giant committing to unbundle its services and foster interoperability, this outcome could redefine how automotive technology integrates with digital services, delivering a seismic shift for carmakers, developers, and consumers alike. The investigat...

U.S. Export Control Probe Threatens Taiwan’s Chip Giant The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), a titan in the global chipmaking industry, finds itself at the heart of a brewing storm that could cost it over $1 billion. The U.S. Department of Commerce is investigating whether TSMC violated stringent export control laws by producing chips that ended up in Huawei’s advanced artificial intelligence (AI) processors. Huawei, a Chinese tech behemoth long accused of sanctions evasion and intellectual property theft, remains a restricted entity under U.S. trade regulations, barred from accessing goods crafted with American technology. This unfolding saga not only jeopardizes TSMC’s reputation but also underscores the fragile interplay between global supply chains and geopolitical tensions. Here’s an in-depth exploration of the TSMC Huawei export control investigation, its potential ramifications, and the broader implications for U.S. Taiwan relations. The Genesis of the TSMC...

Wall Street Braces for Global Trade War Fallout U.S. Stock Market Volatility Hits New Highs Amid Tariff Uncertainty U.S. stocks pared losses Monday following unconfirmed social media reports suggesting President Donald Trump might pause his aggressive trade tariff policies, offering a glimmer of hope after a brutal start to the week on Wall Street. At 10:25 ET (14:25 GMT), the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 610 points, a 1.5% drop, reflecting deep investor unease. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index shed 33 points, down 0.7%, while the NASDAQ Composite bucked the trend with a modest gain of 20 points, or 0.1%. This erratic performance underscores the market's sensitivity to Trump's tariff strategy, which has ignited fears of a global trade war and economic instability. The unconfirmed rumor of a 90-day tariff pause for all countries except China briefly lifted spirits, yet skepticism lingers as Trump doubled down Sunday, insisting tariffs are essential to correct trade...
