説明を展開
The NVIDIA partnership was announced at the September 2024 US-Korea summit at US$3bn. It includes: (1) NVIDIA building AI data centres and joint labs in Korea; (2) joint R&D with Samsung / SK hynix on HBM; (3) priority allocation of NVIDIA H200 / B100 capacity to Korea; (4) NVIDIA AI education programmes landing in Korean universities. Assessment: US$3bn is small relative to NVIDIA's FY24 capex (US$12bn+), but for Korea it is strategically central — locking in next-gen compute supply. It is effectively Korea's Stargate UAE — alignment with the US in exchange for priority compute. Singapore hosts NVIDIA's regional HQ but does not have a national-level partnership of comparable scale.
