On June 7, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang revealed that the company's new Vera central processing unit will utilize memory chips from SK Hynix, and expects the two sides to deepen cooperation in the coming year. On Sunday, Huang said in Seoul that he had dinner the same day with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, SK Hynix CEO Kwon Oh-hyun, and executives from SK Telecom. He mentioned: "Our collaboration with SK Hynix has already been significant this year, and we are preparing for even larger-scale cooperation in the second half of the year and next year. The Vera CPU we are launching is a revolutionary central processing unit that will incorporate SK Hynix's DRAM memory." As NVIDIA's first standalone data center microprocessor, Vera will directly compete with Intel's Xeon series, AMD's EPYC chips, and Graviton chips developed by large enterprises such as Amazon. Huang arrived in South Korea on Friday to visit partners and suppliers, and plans to meet with Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Jeon Yong-hyun and executives from companies such as Hyundai Motor Group and LG Group on Monday. Additionally, he stated that he is exploring cooperation with telecommunications companies, as future telecom networks will be used for artificial intelligence applications.
