Nvidia pushes Korea beyond memory chips toward physical AI

Nvidia's Korea pitch moved beyond the memory chips that already make Samsung and SK hynix central to its AI accelerator supply chain. The Next Web reported that Jensen Huang arrived in Seoul for a four-day visit and told reporters that robotics could become Korea's next major sector, pointing to the country's manufacturing depth and automation appetite. His agenda included high-bandwidth memory, AI data centers, autonomous driving, robotics, physical AI, and meetings with Krafton leaders on humanoid robotics and AI-powered gaming. No major deal was announced, so this is still a statement of intent rather than a signed order book. But it shows how Nvidia is trying to turn the AI boom from data-center training demand into a broader industrial-compute platform that touches factories, warehouses, vehicles, and robots.
