Samsung and NVIDIA Talk Future Chips at Korea Meeting

Samsung is working to expand its partnership with NVIDIA as both companies look ahead to future chip technologies. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is on a trip to South Korea, and earlier today he met with Samsung co-CEO Jun Young-hyun.

According to reports, Jensen Huang and Jun Young-hyun’s meeting focused on cooperation in advanced semiconductor development and long-term opportunities in the fast-growing artificial intelligence market.

Samsung aims to win more NVIDIA business with new chips

Samsung and NVIDIA are already working together on several projects. These include chips for self-driving cars and AI accelerators based on technology from startup Groq. Samsung is set to manufacture Groq’s LP30 AI inference chips. These chips are expected to start shipping in the second half of this year as demand for AI hardware keeps rising.

During the meeting, both sides discussed future semiconductor products. A key topic was high-bandwidth memory, including HBM4E and HBM5. These memory technologies are important for improving AI performance. NVIDIA relies heavily on fast memory for its GPUs, and suppliers are competing to meet its growing needs in this area.

Samsung has recently taken steps to strengthen its position in this segment. The company has been approved to supply memory chips for NVIDIA’s next-generation platforms. It has also shared samples of its improved HBM4E memory. This move is part of a broader strategy to compete more effectively with other major memory makers.

Ongoing talks between Samsung and NVIDIA show that both companies want to build a stronger relationship. Samsung is aiming to secure a bigger role in the AI supply chain. NVIDIA is working with multiple partners to support its rapid growth. Their cooperation could shape the future of AI hardware development.
