June 5th (Thursday) — A source with direct knowledge of the matter told reporters on Thursday that SK Hynix, South Korea’s top memory chip manufacturer, has received “very positive” feedback regarding its planned U.S. stock listing. The upbeat outlook is driven by surging demand for advanced storage semiconductors, which are essential components for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. Per recent reports, the firm quietly submitted its U.S. listing application earlier this year. As of March, prior sources had indicated the offering could raise up to $14 billion. However, since the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is still conducting its review, no specific updates on the listing process are available at this time.

June 5: NVIDIA has open-sourced the Bill of Materials (BOM) and official technical diagram for its Rubin NVSwitch Tray. The newly released specifications show each Rubin NVSwitch Tray is equipped with an AMD EPYC 3151 embedded CPU. Each of NVIDIA’s VR200 chassis units comes with 9 NVSwitch Trays, meaning every NVIDIA chassis is fitted with 9 compact AMD embedded CPUs. These open-source materials are hosted in NVIDIA’s public GitHub repository: NVIDIA/nvbmc-docs, and are distributed under a CC 4.0 open source license.

June 5 — Well-known tech research firm SemiAnalysis roiled markets late Wednesday with a report revealing major adjustments to NVIDIA’s next-generation AI server cluster, the Rubin NVL72: per-cabinet memory capacity will plummet from the originally planned 55TB to just 28TB, and most Rubin systems will use 96GB SOCAMM modules instead of the initially planned 192GB units. The news triggered immediate sell-offs in memory stocks: Micron closed trading down 7.7%, while South Korea’s SK Hynix opened Thursday’s session with an 8.32% sharp drop. Still, overall market sentiment leans cautiously optimistic, with many investors arguing the reaction is overdone. US stock influencer Herman Jin commented that the memory downgrade boils down to supply constraints—not falling demand. He added NVIDIA’s upcoming switch-focused solutions may carry similar bearish headwinds, reiterating that model-side demand remains the critical gauge for whether the AI boom is nearing its end.
