Nvidia and SK Hynix Announce Major Partnership

On June 8th, Nvidia and SK Hynix announced a multi-year technology partnership to jointly develop next-generation memory for global AI factories and apply AI technology to semiconductor chip design and manufacturing.

According to the agreement, SK Hynix will co-develop dedicated memory for Nvidia’s Vera Rubin AI supercomputer, Vera CPU, RTX Spark PC, and Jetson Thor robotic computing platform, thereby entering new markets that Nvidia is expanding into, such as AI infrastructure, personal AI, and physical AI.

In the semiconductor manufacturing field, SK Hynix will use Nvidia’s CUDA-X library and PhysicsNeMo framework to accelerate chip simulation and lithography computing workflows; it will also leverage Nvidia’s Omniverse and cuOpt to build digital twins of its wafer fabs, promoting autonomous factory operations.
