Samsung and NVIDIA Announce Historic AI Megafactory Partnership
Samsung Electronics and NVIDIA have announced plans to create a groundbreaking AI megafactory that will transform how semiconductors are manufactured. The partnership, which builds on more than 25 years of collaboration between the two tech giants, represents a significant milestone in AI-driven industrial manufacturing.
The Scale of the Operation
The AI megafactory will be powered by more than 50,000 NVIDIA GPUs, embedding artificial intelligence throughout Samsung’s entire manufacturing ecosystem. This massive deployment of computing power will accelerate the development and production of next-generation semiconductors, mobile devices, and robotics.
How the AI Factory Works
Samsung’s AI Factory functions as an intelligent manufacturing platform that integrates every aspect of semiconductor production—from chip design and lithography to equipment operations and quality control—into a single interconnected network. AI continuously analyzes, predicts, and optimizes production environments in real time, creating a self-optimizing system that goes beyond traditional automation.
Using NVIDIA’s cuLitho, CUDA-X, and Omniverse technologies, Samsung has already demonstrated a 20x improvement in computational lithography performance. The companies are also developing digital twin manufacturing capabilities using NVIDIA Omniverse to simulate and optimize factory operations before implementing changes in the physical world.
Global Expansion and Memory Innovation
The initiative extends beyond Korea, with Samsung planning to expand its AI Factory infrastructure to global production hubs, including its facility in Taylor, Texas. Additionally, Samsung is developing next-generation memory solutions for NVIDIA, including the HBM4 chip, which promises processing speeds of 11 gigabits-per-second—significantly exceeding industry standards.
Samsung will supply NVIDIA with next-generation memory and foundry services, including HBM, GDDR, and SOCAMM, driving innovation across the global AI value chain.
