Nvidia approached South Korean power equipment makers to design 800‑volt DC data‑center infrastructure, aiming for higher efficiency.
Potential partners cited are Hyundai Electric & Energy Systems, LS Electric, and Hyosung Heavy Industries, all listed on KOSPI.
Nvidia’s 800 V shift reduces current, copper usage and cable bulk versus the industry‑standard 54 V systems, but compatibility issues remain.
South Korea already supplies Nvidia memory chips via Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, underscoring strategic supply‑chain ties.
