[NVIDIA CFO: We Predicted Memory Prices Would Soar and Placed Orders in Advance] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on May 25, NVIDIA Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress attributed the difficulties other companies are facing during the current memory shortage to their own lack of preparation. In an interview, Kress stated that NVIDIA had anticipated the imminent surge in memory prices and had placed orders in advance to stock up. Amid supply chain disruptions, NVIDIA has consistently stayed ahead of the curve, ensuring a stable supply of core memory chips. In the interview, Kress outlined the company's strategy for dealing with the memory shortage, noting that the company had long foreseen this market turbulence. When discussing other companies' complaints about rising memory prices, Kress remarked that many companies only realized the price surge after the fact, whereas NVIDIA had predicted this trend early and completed its procurement well in advance. She emphasized that this proactive approach is something all companies should have planned for. She also revealed that NVIDIA did not purchase spot market memory but instead collaborated with suppliers to produce chips based on orders. She stated: 'Suppliers work with us to co-develop and customize products, then calculate the actual supply volumes. We do not rely on a single supplier but instead coordinate with the three major memory suppliers simultaneously. The company has a clear product development roadmap and aligns all suppliers for collaborative production. Currently, no other company has adopted this type of cooperation model.'
