Overview
- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang spent several days in Seoul meeting gamers, executives and fans in public events and private dinners with leaders from major Korean tech groups.
- Huang told reporters that Samsung, SK hynix and Micron have been cleared to supply HBM4 high‑bandwidth memory for Nvidia's next‑generation Vera Rubin class platforms.
- Local reports say Huang held or planned meetings with Krafton and NCSoft to explore collaboration on Nvidia's RTX Spark laptop platform and on so‑called physical AI for robotics and smart factories, with some details coming from unnamed industry sources.
- Nvidia has begun hiring for a Korea research-and-development presence although a formal on‑shore lab or a larger Nvidia‑backed AI center has not been confirmed by the company.
- Qualifying multiple Korean memory suppliers cuts a key production risk for Nvidia's upcoming accelerators and could speed product launches while creating more partnership and hiring opportunities in Korea's gaming and robotics industries.
