Chey Tae-won and Noh-Jung Kwak turn out in force at Nvidia GTC, strengthening AI chip alliance

SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and SK hynix CEO Noh-Jung Kwak attended Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference (GTC) 2026, which opened on the 16th (local time) in San Jose, California, underscoring their semiconductor alliance with Nvidia.
Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference (GTC) is a global artificial intelligence (AI) conference where major companies and developers from around the world gather to share the latest technologies and industry trends in AI and accelerated computing.
During GTC 2026, SK hynix plans to explore new directions for collaboration that reflect the latest developments on the front lines of the global AI industry. Chey Tae-won, Noh-Jung Kwak and other senior executives will meet with global big tech companies to exchange insights on AI technology advances and infrastructure changes, and to discuss mid- to long-term cooperation.
SK hynix stated, "We have equipped Nvidia's AI infrastructure with memory products that minimize data bottlenecks and maximize performance in AI training and inference," adding, "Through this event, we will showcase our competitiveness in memory technology, the core infrastructure of the AI era, based on our partnership with Nvidia." At the conference, SK hynix is presenting an exhibition space under the theme "Spotlight on AI Memory" to introduce its AI memory technologies and solutions.
The exhibition area is divided into a Nvidia collaboration zone, a product portfolio zone and an event zone. It is organized around interactive content so that visitors can intuitively understand AI memory technologies.
Located at the entrance, the Nvidia collaboration zone serves as the core space that highlights the results of collaboration between SK hynix and Nvidia.
Here, SK hynix showcases how its HBM4 high-bandwidth memory, HBM3E high-bandwidth memory and Small Outline Compression Attached Memory Module 2 (SOCAMM2) have been applied to various Nvidia AI platforms. The company presents the memory configurations used in GPU-based AI accelerators through both models and actual hardware.
The company is also exhibiting a liquid-cooled enterprise solid-state drive (eSSD) developed in collaboration with Nvidia, as well as the NVIDIA DGX Spark AI supercomputer equipped with its LPDDR5X (Low Power Double Data Rate 5X) memory.
In the product portfolio zone, visitors can get an overview of SK hynix's AI-focused memory lineup, including HBM4 high-bandwidth memory and HBM3E high-bandwidth memory, high-capacity DRAM modules for servers, Low-Power Double Data Rate 6 (LPDDR6), GDDR7, eSSD and Automotive Solution products for vehicles.
Visitors can use a joystick to select products of interest and view each product's features and application cases on a screen. In the event zone, SK hynix is running the "HBM 16-High Stacking Game," inspired by the stacked structure of HBM.
