Artificial intelligence chipmaker Nvidia Corp.<\/a> today announced a slate of new partnerships with some of South Korea\u2019s biggest technology, including the memory chip supplier SK Hynix Inc.<\/a>, internet giant Naver Corp.<\/a> and the multinational conglomerate Doosan Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The deals came during a high-profile trip by Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang to the country. He arrived on Friday, and has spent the weekend eating fried chicken with some of South Korea\u2019s most renowned corporate leaders, meeting a well-known eSports video gamer and watching a local baseball game where he had the honor of throwing a pitch.<\/p>\n

SK Hynix said it has signed<\/a> a multiyear technology partnership with Nvidia that\u2019s focused on advancing the next-generation of memory chips for use in massive AI data centers. As part of the agreement, it will work with Nvidia to ensure a stable supply of advanced memory for the AI industry. In addition, it will also try to expand its presence into adjacent segments of the AI industry, such as personal AI and physical AI, which is a term that\u2019s used to describe intelligent, autonomous robots and vehicles.<\/p>\n

Huang said in a statement that a sustainable supply of memory is essential for building \u201cAI factories\u201d that will power the new AI-led industrial revolution. \u201cAdvanced memory is at the core of their performance,\u201d he explained. \u201cBy jointly developing next-generation memory for AI factories, we will accelerate the expansion of global AI infrastructure, from frontier model training to agentic AI and physical AI.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two partners also want to cooperate on the \u201csimulation technology\u201d that\u2019s required for semiconductor development. SK Hynix will utilize Nvidia\u2019s CUDA-X library and its PhysicsNeMo framework to enhance the speed and efficiency of the simulations it runs to develop and manufacture more advanced chips. This includes technology computer-aided design for analyzing semiconductor process characteristics and computational lithography technologies for implementing chip circuits.<\/p>\n

In addition, SK Hynix\u2019s sister company SK Telecom will build<\/a> a new gigawatt-scale AI cloud in South Korea that\u2019s going to be powered by Nvidia\u2019s AI chips and infrastructure. The first of a number of AI data centers in that cloud is slated to come online early next year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Nvidia is cooperating with Naver and Doosan on additional AI data center projects, it said in separate announcements.<\/p>\n

In the case of Naver, the collaboration<\/a> will kick off at its data center in Gak Sejong, where it already operates AI infrastructure. The companies will work to expand the capacity of that facility and later also build additional gigawatt-scale AI factories, although the plans are dependent on Naver\u2019s future capacity procurement and also the availability of power supplies, they said.<\/p>\n

As for Doosan, which is developing intelligent robotics and also makes components for Nvidia\u2019s graphics processing units, it\u2019s planning<\/a> several ventures with Nvidia. For instance, the U.S. chipmaker plans to use its energy solutions in its data center platforms. Meanwhile Doosan will utilize Nvidia\u2019s physical AI technology to power its robots.<\/p>\n

The partnerships should help to expand Nvidia\u2019s presence in South Korea, which is one of the world\u2019s major technology manufacturing powerhouses, home to massive chip, electronics, car and ship-making industries. SK Hynix and its rival Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. are two of the world\u2019s three biggest makers of memory chips, which are vital components for AI data centers.<\/p>\n
