The center, slated for completion in 2028, will provide large-scale AI computing infrastructure to support artificial intelligence research, development and services, while serving as a hub for the commercialization of domestically developed AI semiconductors. The center will occupy a 49,000-square-meter (527,000-square-foot) site with an aim of housing 15,000 high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs) by 2028.
