SEOUL, June 7 (Reuters) - Nvidia ( NVDA ) and South Korea's
SK are expected to announce a plan for cooperation between the
two companies on Monday, with the boss of the U.S. chipmaker
saying that the ongoing memory shortage would persist for "quite
a few years".
A spokesperson for SK Hynix said group chairman
Chey Tae-won and Nvidia ( NVDA ) CEO Jensen Huang plan to brief media
about the plan on Monday morning, confirming a report by
Newsis.
Huang separately said that Nvidia ( NVDA ) could make announcements
with SK on Monday.
"We're working across many industries from AI supercomputers
to CPUs to new PCs and robotics. So we are here to plan and
maybe tomorrow we have some announcements," he told reporters,
without elaborating further.
He also said that he did not see an end to memory
shortages.
"The whole industry supply chain - everything from wafers to
packaging to silicon photonics...everything's in short supply
because the demand is so high. It is going to persist for
several years."
Huang was meeting with Chey, SK Hynix CEO Kwak Noh-jung and
other SK executives over fried chicken and beer known as
"chimaek" at Seoul restaurant Kkanbu Chicken.
