快評》為何台灣不怕「仁勳黃黃」

輝達執行長黃仁勳近期傳出婚外情與國安疑慮,市場擔憂撤換恐影響台廠供應鏈。經濟部長龔明鑫及官員指出,全球AI高階伺服器幾乎只有台灣能製作,輝達若續走AI方向,非得與台灣合作不可。

輝達執行長黃仁勳傳出婚外情與國安疑慮,引發撤換傳聞。經濟部官員指出,台灣擁有完善的AI伺服器供應鏈與非紅供應鏈資安保障,即使輝達換人,發展AI仍非得依賴台灣不可。

Why It Matters

輝達近年逐步將物流、研發及海外總部落腳台灣,帶動國際科技大廠群聚效應。

〔記者廖家寧/台北報導〕黃仁勳近期坦承婚外情,該案還涉及中國女間諜引發國安疑慮,連帶拖累輝達股價,讓投資者「仁勳黃黃」。市場傳出輝達董事會正準備撤換黃仁勳,外界擔憂如果向來友台的黃仁勳離開輝達執行長職位,可能牽動台廠供應鏈合作關係。其實即使輝達撤換黃仁勳的職務,輝達要發展AI(人工智慧)還是得靠台灣如此完善供應鏈生態系的支持,現在輝達不光是選定在台灣設立研發中心,還加碼在台灣投資首座輝達海外總部,而物流運籌中心也早已遷來台灣。而不只輝達,超微(AMD)等科技大廠都陸續來台設立物流運籌中心、研發據點。

經濟部長龔明鑫今日就指出,全球的AI高階伺服器現在幾乎只有台灣能製作及出貨,「只要輝達還是要往AI的方向走,就非得和台灣合作,這是我們值得傲傲的地方,最好的供應鏈都在我們這邊,我們要持續把這個供應鏈掌握好」。

回顧輝達物流運籌中心在台落成的過程,過去輝達只向台廠購買零組件、進行成品組裝,最後在香港物流中心測試、出貨,後來輝達有鑑於愈來愈多合作的供應鏈廠商都在台灣,多年前就有向經濟部提議想把物流中心設在台灣,輝達則顧慮當時台灣稅制並無香港來得優惠,但台灣樣樣都好,包括晶片優勢、優質人才、智財權、良好的基礎設施、供應鏈完整性及政策透明度,更重要的是在台灣生產AI伺服器的非紅供應鏈所提供的資安保障,「在台灣組裝完畢就能賣到全世界,是台灣的利基」,扣分項就是台灣課稅比香港更重。

當時經濟部思考,如果輝達物流中心在香港,台灣是一點稅收都拿不到,如果輝達物流中心來台灣,不只能增加稅收,勢必還能吸引輝達將所需貨品都在台灣都購置完畢,台廠必然受惠,供應鏈不僅能更完善,還能強化台灣品牌形象,買台灣的AI高階伺服器不用擔心中國資安問題。 另一方面,對台廠而言更實際的考量是可以少一筆運費。

因此經濟部開啟了財政部的討論,商榷了一、兩年,排除租稅難題,並稅制財務平衡、合理維護、拚經濟之間取得平衡,最終克服稅制問題,後來輝達物流中心、研發中心、海外總部陸續落腳台灣的事,就是眾所皆知的事了。

多位參與科技大廠投資案的經濟部官員與業界人士都曾指出,如此完整的供應鏈,除了台灣外,可能找不到別人,成功招攬輝達後,後續AMD也與台積電合作並來台灣投資,達成國際科技大廠來台灣群聚的效果,這也是「經濟戰略」。

當時經濟部產業技術司司長邱求慧(現經濟部產發署長)就指出,憑藉著輝達來台投資的優勢,經濟部再乘勝追擊,招來台灣最缺的美光高頻寬記憶體、新思和益華的EDA、應材、艾司摩爾(ASML)和科林的設備,台灣的半導體已經成為一個完整聚落,更無法讓全球任何一個國家取代。

而經濟部產業技術司也在2024年獲頒象徵公務人員最高榮譽的「傑出貢獻獎」,獲獎名義是以「領航台灣-引進國際大廠來台設立研發中心」。

Open Questions

  • 輝達董事會是否真的會撤換黃仁勳?
  • 黃仁勳案對輝達後續財務與股價的實際衝擊為何?
