( https://www.foxconn.com/en-us/press-center/events/foxconn-events/1284 )

And if it’s anything like last time (2018), when NCHC had the 2 PF Taiwana 1, and Foxconn leapfrogged it with a 6 PF machine in Kaohsiung, taking the Taiwanese HPC lead, only to be hopscotched by NCHC with the 15 PF Taiwana 2 ( https://www.top500.org/news/foxconn-builds-taiwans-largest-supercomputer/ ), then we can expect that Foxconn’s brand new 207 PF machine, will soon be proportionately pole-vaulted by a 500 PF machine at NCHC!

(yes, 160 PF is nice wrt GDP, but proportions are everything! eh-eh-eh!)
