Nvidia and SK Hynix Partner to Develop Next-Gen Memory for AI Platforms
Jensen Huang confirms SK Hynix as largest memory partner for all upcoming Nvidia AI platforms.
Nvidia and SK Hynix have formalized a multi-year technology partnership focused on co-developing next-generation memory specifically designed for Nvidia's AI accelerators. Announced on June 8, the agreement ensures that SK Hynix will supply memory chips for all major upcoming Nvidia platforms, including the Vera Rubin architecture, Vera CPU, RTX Spark, and Jetson Thor. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang emphasized that SK Hynix 'will continue to be our largest memory partner,' underscoring the strategic importance of the deal for both companies' roadmaps.
The partnership extends beyond chip development: SK Telecom, part of the same conglomerate, unveiled plans to construct gigawatt-scale AI infrastructure, with the first AI factory projected to launch in South Korea by 2027. This aligns with Nvidia's broader push to expand its AI data center ecosystem globally. The deal solidifies SK Hynix's role as a critical supplier for Nvidia's next-generation hardware, which is expected to drive massive performance gains across AI training, inference, and edge computing applications.
