In an exclusive interview with Jensen and Korean media outlet KED, the NVIDIA CEO said: "we're at the beginning of a billion-dollar infrastructure project". While enjoying some chicken and beer with NVIDIA and South Korean engineers, Jensen said: "we're one team with Korean semiconductors".

Jensen met with the KED reporter after having dinner with around 30 NVIDIA and SK hynix engineers at 99 Chicken, a Korea-style fried chicken restaurant in Santa Clara, California. The NVIDIA CEO readily accepted the unscheduled interview request, saying: "ask as much as you want".

Jensen described the evening as a "celebration of the world's best memory (semiconductor) team", just over a week after his "chicken and beer meeting" with SK Group chairman Choi Tae-won and other SK executives on February 5. The NVIDIA CEO held the gathering to encourage the two companies' executives.

The NVIDIA CEO told the KED reporter that: "SK Hynix and NVIDIA are working very closely together" and that the two companies have a "great partnership". He emphasized that the two companies share a common destiny by describing NVIDIA and SK hynix as "one giant team".

Jensen added: "We've prepared several new chips the world has never seen before. Nothing is easy because all technologies are at their limits. A chip that will surprise the world will be unveiled at GTC next month".
