Nvidia and SK Hynix have signed a multi-year agreement to develop next-generation memory chips optimized for Nvidia's AI infrastructure, including support for the Vera Rubin project. The partnership strengthens SK Hynix's position as a key supplier in the competitive AI hardware market.

The collaboration focuses on designing memory solutions tailored to Nvidia's expanding AI roadmap. SK Hynix, South Korea's leading memory chipmaker, will work to integrate its technology with Nvidia's infrastructure requirements as demand for AI computing accelerates globally. Separately, Nvidia announced that South Korean internet conglomerate Naver will deploy Nvidia technology to build AI data centers at "gigawatt scale." These facilities will address surging demand for AI services and physical AI infrastructure. The deals underscore Nvidia's strategy to lock in supply chains and expand its ecosystem through strategic partnerships. SK Hynix gains a critical long-term customer as memory demand surges from AI deployments. Naver's gigawatt-scale investment reflects the massive computational resources required to power next-generation AI systems.
