South Korea to seek priority supply of Nvidia Vera Rubin GPUs, science minister says

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 on ​Monday.

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.
