Separately, Nvidia announced a $500 billion long-term commercial partnership with SK Group covering memory chip purchases from SK Hynix and SK Telecom's plans to build over 2 gigawatts of AI data centers in Korea. The deals coincide with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung's Silicon Valley visit. Nvidia will also collaborate with SK Hynix on designing future high-bandwidth memory chips. Critics note a pattern of circular financing where Nvidia invests in companies that then buy its hardware, a model now extended to sovereign AI partners. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

The hardware story is impressive, but grid capacity, cooling, and who pays for upgrades deserve equal attention. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Nvidia expands AI ties with Hyundai, Samsung, SK, Naver](https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-expands-ai-ties-with-hyundai-samsung-sk-naver-ayalvp72k) · TechCrunch · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#nvidia](https://daily.dev/tags/nvidia), [#ai-infrastructure](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-infrastructure) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-invests-1-billion-in-naver-and-strikes-500-billion-deal-with-sk-group-0i1xwmbm4) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Nvidia invests $1 billion in Naver and strikes $500 billion deal with SK Group","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-invests-1-billion-in-naver-and-strikes-500-billion-deal-with-sk-group-0i1xwmbm4","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-invests-1-billion-in-naver-and-strikes-500-billion-deal-with-sk-group-0i1xwmbm4"},"datePublished":"2026-07-25T12:51:49.428Z","dateModified":"2026-07-28T19:55:06.421Z","description":"Nvidia is investing $1 billion in South Korean internet company Naver to help finance an AI data center, enabling the facility to expand from 55 MW to 200 MW....","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/d6ca3a7c33fabd273254899f86d5e945?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/d6ca3a7c33fabd273254899f86d5e945?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Next Web","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Next Web","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tnw","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},"commentCount":1,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-invests-1-billion-in-naver-and-strikes-500-billion-deal-with-sk-group-0i1xwmbm4","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":2},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":1}],"keywords":"nvidia,ai-infrastructure","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Next Web","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Nvidia invests $1 billion in Naver and strikes $500 billion deal with SK Group"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-invests-1-billion-in-naver-and-strikes-500-billion-deal-with-sk-group-0i1xwmbm4","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","text":"Going from 55 MW to 200 MW is a massive jump, and 2 GW across the wider deal is another league.
