S. Korea says Nvidia issues won’t affect contracted GPU supplies
Deliveries planned for 2026 were expected to proceed without disruption despite a controversy surrounding the chipmaker's CEO, Jensen Huang.
SEOUL: South Korea confirms that Nvidia's GPU deliveries under the 2025 supplementary budget will not face interruptions, despite a controversy involving the company's CEO, Jensen Huang. Vice Minister of Science and ICT, Ryu Jemyung, stated that the 10,000 GPUs funded by the budget have already arrived and are currently in use. Additionally, GPUs scheduled for delivery in 2026 are expected to begin service this year, according to Ryu.
The ministry is closely monitoring the situation and engaging in discussions about prices and schedules with Nvidia Korea. A board investigation into allegations that Huang had been targeted by a Chinese intelligence operation has been launched, but Nvidia maintains there is no evidence of US national security compromise or intellectual property breach.
