Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, signed the graphic memory GDDR7 of Samsung Electronics on the 20th local time.
On the fourth day of the Nvidia annual developer conference GTC 2025, CEO Huang visited the convention in San Jose, where partner booths were set up, and took a booth tour. He first visited the booths of Taiwanese partners Pegatron and Foxconn before visiting the Samsung Electronics booth.
He looked at the products displayed at the Samsung booth and asked, "Is this GDDR7?" After a representative from Samsung confirmed, "Yes," he signed. GDDR7 is the graphic memory used in Nvidia's latest gaming graphics card, the "GeForce RTX 5090." CEO Huang included the words "Samsung" and "GDDR7 Rocks!" and "RTX ON!" in his signature.
In January, at the world's largest information technology (IT) and consumer electronics show CES 2025, CEO Huang stirred controversy when he responded to a question about whether there was a special reason for using Micron memory in the RTX 5090, saying, "I understand that Samsung Electronics and SK hynix do not engage in graphic memory." However, the next day, CEO Huang issued a statement correcting himself, stating, "The GeForce RTX 50 series will include GDDR7 products from various partners, starting with Samsung."
