South Korea’s technology leadership announced Monday they will pursue expedited access to Nvidia’s advanced Vera Rubin graphics processing units amid concerns about potential shipping delays.
Science and ICT Minister Bae Kyung-hoon revealed that his government issued an official notice for the country’s graphics processing unit initiative earlier that day. He noted that deliveries of Nvidia’s B300 processors appear to remain on track.
“B300 supply looks like it will come in time, but Vera Rubin looks likely to be slightly delayed, so we will request priority supply for that,” Bae told reporters.
The minister later indicated that South Korea’s goal is to secure these chip supplies within the current year.
