Huang Unveils Roadmap for the "AI CPU Era"
Chey Remarks with a Smile, "There is nothing NVIDIA doesn't do"

Chey Tae-won, Chairman of SK Group, attended the keynote speech delivered by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at the GTC conference on the 1st (local time) and remarked, “There’s nothing Nvidia isn’t doing.” Given that SK hynix is a core partner of Nvidia, Chairman Chey’s comment is interpreted as a positive assessment of Nvidia’s move to broaden its business areas across data centers, robotics, and the entire AI infrastructure, including the next-generation AI accelerator ‘Vera Rubin.’

After attending the keynote at Nvidia’s annual AI conference, ‘GTC Taipei 2026,’ held at the Taipei Music Center, Chairman Chey responded with a bright smile to a question from a reporter at The Asia Business Daily. Though brief, his remark encapsulates how Nvidia is rapidly expanding its business beyond AI semiconductors to include data centers, networks, robots, autonomous driving, industrial AI, and supercomputing.

On this day, CEO Huang unveiled a series of innovations including Vera Rubin, AI Factory, Agent AI, robotics, and a new central processing unit (CPU) platform, presenting a blueprint that encompasses the entire AI infrastructure. This highlighted that Nvidia is evolving from a simple graphics processing unit (GPU) manufacturer into a comprehensive computing platform company for the AI era.

Chairman Chey’s statement can be seen as an evaluation of Nvidia’s extensive business expansion. Through SK hynix, SK Group serves as a key partner supplying high bandwidth memory (HBM) to Nvidia. During the keynote, CEO Huang stated, “Vera Rubin is in full production,” and mentioned that the 6th generation HBM4 from SK hynix, Samsung Electronics, and Micron will be adopted.

He attended CEO Huang’s keynote together with Kwak Nojeong, President and CEO of SK hynix. Chairman Chey sat in the center of the venue and was focused on the entire presentation. It has been reported that during his trip to Taiwan, he will have a direct meeting with CEO Huang. After completing his schedule at Computex Taipei, CEO Huang is also expected to visit Korea and meet with Chairman Chey and other major domestic partners.
