NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is on a trip to South Korea this week, meeting local partners, including those from the semiconductor industry.
He met with Jun Young-hyun, the co-CEO of Samsung Electronics and the head of its chip division, earlier today in Seoul. Next generation chips were among the topics of discussion.
Jun highlighted that Samsung and NVIDIA are currently working on self-driving chips and Groq AI accelerators.
Groq is NVIDIA's new AI inteference processor that was unveiled earlier this year. It's based on the technology developed by chip startup Groq. NVIDIA had confirmed back then that the LP30 Groq AI inference processor will be manufactured by Samsung and shipped later this year.
During this meeting, the two companies also discussed collaboration for future generations of semiconductor products. Extensive discussions on long-term cooperation were held, including for high-bandwidth memory solutions such as HBM4 and HBM5.
It's unlikely, though, that Huang will meet with Samsung Electronics Chairman Jay Y. Lee on this trip. The chairman is reportedly out of South Korea on a business trip, but these top leaders have met multiple times in recent months, underscoring the importance that both Samsung and NVIDIA attach to their relationship.
Huang has already confirmed that Samsung is now certified to supply memory chips for NVIDIA's upcoming Vera Rubin platform. It will supply HBM4 chips, and has also shared samples of the enhanced HBM4E chips to maintain its competitiveness against rivals SK Hynix and Micron.
