SK to seek priority supply of Nvidia Vera Rubin GPUs

South Korea will ask for priority supply ​of Nvidia’s next-generation Vera ‌Rubin graphics processing units, as deliveries are expected to ​be delayed, Science and ​ICT Minister Bae Kyung-hoon said.

Bae said a ​government notice for South ​Korea’s GPU project had been issued earlier in the day, adding that ​a supply of Nvidia’s ​B300 chips was expected to arrive ‌on ⁠time.

“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.

Bae said later that South Korea aims ⁠to ​get supply this ​year. Reuters
