On Wednesday, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang corrected his previous announcement about the new RTX 50 series GPUs. Huang clarified that Samsung Electronics will supply the initial batch instead of Micron’s graphics memory DRAM GDDR7.

This statement marks a significant reversal from Huang’s CES 2025 keynote on January 6, where he stated that Micron GDDR was used for the RTX 50 series. In a follow-up session the following day, when asked why Micron was chosen, Huang responded that neither Samsung Electronics nor SK Hynix produce graphic memory, causing controversy. Samsung Electronics is renowned as the pioneer of GDDR7 memory.

NVIDIA later explained, “Production will start with Samsung Electronics’ products, and we plan to use products from various partners, including SK Hynix.”

SK Group Chairman Choi Tae Won, who met with Huang on January 8, addressed this issue at a press briefing, stating that “NVIDIA’s core competency lies in GPU manufacturing,” Choi remarked, “It’s unrealistic to expect Jensen Huang to remember the details of every component supplier. I also do not know all the solutions integrated into our products.”
