"Nvidia's GPUs may be hard to snag, but Jensen Huang's birthday cake might just be sitting in a display case at your local mall. A strawberry soft cream cake from Korean bakery brand Paris Baguette was served at a birthday dinner for the Nvidia CEO near the company's Santa Clara headquarters last Saturday, according to The Korea Times, which cited an interview with the bakery brand's operator, Paris Croissant."
"Huang, who turned 63 on Feb 17, invited about 30 engineers involved in South Korea's SK Hynix DRAM and high-bandwidth memory for a dinner party at a fried chicken restaurant called 99 Chicken. Korean business newspaper Hankyung reported that Huang had instructed Nvidia employees to "organize a dinner to encourage SK Hynix HBM engineers." "Please supply the highest-performance HBM4 without a hitch," he told SK Hynix engineers that day, according to Hankyung."
"SK Hynix is one of Nvidia's key suppliers of high-bandwidth memory chips, or HBM chips - the advanced chips that sit alongside GPUs and feed them data at extreme speeds. Memory chips have become one of the biggest choke points in the AI boom. At one point, Huang personally prepared and served somaek - a mix of soju and beer - to guests at each table. For about two hours, Huang went table to table thanking his guests, according to Hankyung."
