NVIDIA and SK hynix Announce Multiyear Technology Partnership to Advance Memory for AI Factories
Collaboration Supports Next-Generation Memory Codevelopment With NVIDIA’s AI Infrastructure Roadmap and Expands Supply for the Accelerating Global AI Factory Buildout
News Summary:
- NVIDIA and SK hynix announce multiyear technology partnership for next-generation memory aligned to NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure roadmap.
- The agreement supports supply for advanced memory, addressing the extended development cycles, advanced fabrication and capital investments to sustain the global buildout of AI factories.
- SK hynix will diversify into new markets NVIDIA is creating — across AI infrastructure, personal AI and physical AI — codeveloping memory for NVIDIA Vera Rubin AI supercomputers, Vera CPUs, RTX Spark-powered PCs and Jetson Thor robotic computing platforms.
- The two companies will apply AI to semiconductor chip design and manufacturing, using NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries and NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo to accelerate semiconductor simulations, TCAD workflows and in-house engineering codes.
- SK hynix will advance factory digital twins by combining NVIDIA Omniverse, OpenUSD scene optimization and NVIDIA cuOpt to drive fully autonomous fab operations.
SEOUL, South Korea, June 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVIDIA and SK hynix today announced a multiyear technology partnership to advance next-generation memory for the global AI factory buildout and
accelerate semiconductor design and manufacturing. The agreement builds on years of deep co-engineering collaboration that has powered some of the world’s most advanced AI computing platforms.
“AI factories are the engines of the next industrial revolution, and advanced memory is essential to their performance,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “SK hynix has been an extraordinary partner to NVIDIA, playing a central role in delivering advanced memory technologies for NVIDIA AI computing platforms. Together, we will codevelop the next generation of memory for AI factories and support the accelerating global expansion of AI infrastructure — from frontier model training to agentic and physical AI.”
“SK hynix and NVIDIA have been building toward this for years, and this partnership reflects the depth of that collaboration,” said Chey Tae-won, Chairman of SK Group. “Together, we are codeveloping the next generation of memory for AI factories and applying AI to how we design and manufacture semiconductors — work that will shape the future of AI infrastructure.”
