Nvidia locks down memory supply from SK Hynix as part of $500 billion AI deal
SK Hynix affiliate SK Telecom will build a cloud business using Nvidia's Vera Rubin systems. Nvidia said it's targeting enough capacity to require 2 gigawatts of power, which indicates a massive buildout with hundreds of thousands of graphics processing units. Nvidia is aggressively securing supply of high-bandwidth memory, which is essential for its GPUs and systems, as the AI boom has created a global memory shortage.
