Seoul: South Korean chipmaker SK hynix Inc. has announced a multiyear technology partnership with Nvidia Corp. to advance next-generation memory technologies for artificial intelligence (AI) factories. The agreement marks a significant collaboration effort to enhance AI computing platforms through advanced memory solutions.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the partnership builds on years of co-engineering between SK hynix and Nvidia that has supported some of the world's most advanced AI computing platforms. "SK hynix and Nvidia have been building toward this for years, and this partnership reflects the depth of that collaboration," stated SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won. The collaboration focuses on co-developing the next generation of memory for AI factories and applying AI to semiconductor design and manufacturing.
The agreement not only strengthens SK hynix's position in AI-related fields, such as personal AI and physical AI, but also ensures a stable supply of advanced memory despite long development cycles in the sector. Nvidia's Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Jensen Huang, emphasized the importance of advanced memory for AI factories, describing them as engines of the next industrial revolution.
As part of the collaboration, both companies plan to develop memory for Nvidia's upcoming systems, including the Vera Rubin AI supercomputers. The partnership aims to meet the growing global demand for AI infrastructure by aligning memory supply with Nvidia's long-term strategic plans.
The announcement coincided with Jensen Huang's high-profile visit to South Korea, which includes meetings with leaders of major conglomerates and researchers, further cementing the importance of this collaboration in shaping the future of AI infrastructure.
