HCMC – Two AI factories operated by FPT Corporation (HOSE: FPT) have been named among the world’s 50 fastest supercomputers, marking a key milestone in the country’s push to expand its artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.
Located in Japan and Vietnam, the factories were ranked 36th and 38th, respectively, in the June 2025 edition of the TOP500 list of the world’s fastest supercomputers.
The Japan-based system recorded a performance of 49.85 petaflops with 146,304 processing cores, while the Vietnamese facility reached 46.65 petaflops with 142,240 cores.
Both use NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs and InfiniBand NDR400 technology, which supports high-speed, low-latency performance for large-scale AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.
The TOP500 list, updated twice a year, ranks supercomputers based on the LINPACK benchmark, which measures a system’s ability to solve floating-point mathematical problems. It is widely used by governments, scientific institutions, and businesses.
The inclusion of FPT’s systems positions Vietnam among the top 15 countries globally in AI infrastructure, alongside the U.S., China, Japan, Germany, and France.
FPT was also recognized as the leading commercial AI cloud provider in Japan. The firm said it plans to open three more AI factories worldwide over the next five years.
