NVIDIA and Samsung are partnering to build a futuristic semiconductor AI factory powered by over 50,000 NVIDIA GPUs. This collaboration aims to create an AI-driven production system that merges Samsung’s semiconductor expertise with NVIDIA’s AI platforms to advance chip manufacturing, robotics, and mobile technologies.
The goal is to establish a foundation for intelligent and autonomous manufacturing that enhances efficiency and innovation across industries. This new AI factory will mark a major step forward in applying agentic and physical AI to real-world industrial processes.
The partnership between Samsung and NVIDIA is not new — it spans more than 25 years. Their collaboration began when Samsung supplied DRAM for NVIDIA’s first graphics card and has since evolved through partnerships on advanced memory technologies such as HBM3E and HBM4.
With this new venture, the alliance expands beyond memory and custom solutions into foundry services, AI integration, and robotics development. It represents a deeper, broader collaboration across every layer of semiconductor and AI production.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang described the initiative as the beginning of the “AI industrial revolution,” emphasizing that this partnership will redefine how the world designs and manufactures technology. He praised Samsung’s leadership in both technology and industry, noting that this collaboration will help shape the future of intelligent manufacturing.
Samsung Executive Chairman Jay Y. Lee echoed this sentiment, highlighting NVIDIA’s visionary role in AI and innovation. He celebrated the companies’ shared history and expressed excitement about continuing the partnership to set new standards and drive technological breakthroughs.
The AI factory will use NVIDIA’s cuLitho library integrated into Samsung’s OPC platform for computational lithography, achieving up to 20x faster performance. This advancement will significantly enhance chip design and production efficiency.
Samsung is also utilizing NVIDIA’s Omniverse platform to create digital twins of its global manufacturing facilities. These highly accurate virtual replicas will support predictive maintenance, real-time decision-making, and faster transitions from design to production.
In chip design and verification, Samsung employs NVIDIA GPUs with CUDA-X libraries and tools from Synopsys, Cadence, and Siemens. This integration accelerates circuit simulation, verification, and manufacturing analysis across the entire design process.
Additionally, Samsung is developing intelligent robotics for manufacturing automation and humanoid applications using NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers, Isaac Sim, and Jetson Thor. The AI factory will also enhance logistics and operational planning, driving a new era of intelligent, efficient semiconductor production.
