South Korea Says Nvidia Is Keeping Its 260,000-GPU Supply Plan

South Korea says Nvidia will continue its planned supply of about 260,000 GPUs and existing projects with Korean partners after Jensen Huang’s resignation.

Seoul, 13 November 2026 – South Korea’s Ministry of Science and Information and Communication Technology said on 13 November that Nvidia Corporation had reaffirmed plans to supply about 260,000 advanced graphics processing units (GPUs) and continue its existing projects with Korean partners. Science minister Bae Kyung-hoon said the company confirmed its position after a meeting with ministry officials following the resignation of Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang. The assurance applies to the previously announced programme. It is not a new order or confirmation that all the chips have been delivered.

For Asian manufacturers and cloud operators, the announcement reduces uncertainty about whether the leadership change will alter a major infrastructure plan. The planned computing capacity is intended for public research and industrial projects in areas such as chip manufacturing and automotive development. The immediate news is that the supplier still intends to proceed. The value of the programme will depend on when operators install the equipment and make it available to customers and researchers.
