Nvidia–SK Hynix Multi-Year HBM Supply Partnership Confirmed at Up to $500B
Nvidia has secured a long-term HBM memory supply agreement with SK Hynix reported at up to $500 billion, encompassing next-generation HBM development for AI training, agents, and physical AI workloads, alongside a planned 2GW data center initiative for 2027. The deal, reported by CNBC and corroborated by The Economic Times via Facebook, represents the largest publicly disclosed memory supply commitment in the semiconductor industry and effectively locks in a dominant share of SK Hynix's HBM output for Nvidia's accelerator roadmap.
A supply agreement of this magnitude structurally advantages Nvidia against competing AI accelerator vendors by constraining available SK Hynix HBM allocation—SK Hynix is the leading HBM3e supplier by yield and volume—and could meaningfully tighten spot availability and push contract pricing higher for non-contracted buyers. Secondary-market HBM pricing pressure and elongated lead times for hyperscalers not party to this deal are the most immediate downstream risks to monitor.
