Svmuu reported that Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia (NVDA.O), stated that the company's new Vera central processing unit will use SK Hynix's memory chips, and the two companies are expected to expand collaboration over the next year. Speaking to reporters outside a restaurant in Seoul on Sunday, Huang mentioned that he had dinner that day with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, SK Hynix CEO Kwak Noh-jung, and executives from SK Telecom. He said: "Our cooperation with SK Hynix this year is very extensive, and we are preparing for even larger-scale collaboration in the second half of this year and next year. We have launched Vera CPU, a revolutionary central processor that will also utilize SK Hynix's DRAM memory."
Vera is Nvidia's first independent data center microprocessor, directly competing with Intel's Xeon series, AMD's EPYC chips, and self-developed Graviton chips from major enterprises like Amazon. Huang arrived in Korea on Friday to visit partners and suppliers, and plans to meet on Monday with Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Jeon Young-hyun, as well as executives from Hyundai Motor Group and LG Group. He also noted that discussions are underway with telecommunications companies, as future telecom networks are expected to be used for artificial intelligence applications. (Jin Shi)
