Samsung and Nvidia Join Forces to Build a Groundbreaking AI Megafactory Powered by 50,000 GPUs
Samsung has announced a bold new step into the future of semiconductor technology — the creation of a next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) “megafactory” in partnership with US chipmaker Nvidia. The initiative, revealed on Friday and reported by Focus Taiwan, will integrate AI into every stage of Samsung’s chip production process, setting a new global benchmark for smart manufacturing.
According to Samsung, the advanced platform will be powered by over 50,000 Nvidia GPUs, forming an “intelligent manufacturing ecosystem” that can analyze, predict, and optimize chip production in real time. Unlike traditional automation, this AI-driven system will use massive data from design, production, and equipment operations to make intelligent decisions instantly.
“The Samsung AI Factory goes beyond traditional automation,” a company official said. “It connects and interprets immense data generated across chip design, production and equipment operations.”
A Partnership Built on 25 Years of Innovation
This megafactory is the latest milestone in the long-standing partnership between Samsung and Nvidia — a collaboration that dates back over 25 years. It began with Samsung supplying DRAM chips for Nvidia’s first-generation graphics cards and has since evolved into deep cooperation in foundry and memory technologies.
Currently, both companies are working on developing HBM4, Nvidia’s next-generation high-bandwidth memory, using Samsung’s 6th-generation 10nm-class DRAM and 4nm logic base die. Samsung also plans to strengthen its HBM, GDDR, and SOCAMM solutions, further expanding its role across the global AI hardware ecosystem.
Revolutionizing the Chipmaking Process
At the core of this new AI megafactory will be Nvidia’s Omniverse and Cuda-X platforms, enabling Samsung to create digital twins of its entire chip fabrication facilities. These virtual replicas will simulate real-world manufacturing conditions, allowing engineers to test processes, optimize designs, and predict equipment maintenance — all without disrupting actual production lines.
Additionally, Samsung will implement Nvidia’s cuLitho software to enhance computational lithography, one of the most critical and complex steps in chip manufacturing. This integration is expected to deliver up to a 20x performance boost, accelerating design iterations and significantly improving chip yields.
Smarter Robots and AI-Powered Networks
Beyond chip design, Samsung plans to extend Nvidia’s AI technology to robotics and automation. Using RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, the company will enhance humanoid robot intelligence, while Jetson Thor modules will handle real-time AI reasoning in smart robotic systems.
The collaboration also aims to revolutionize mobile networks through AI-RAN technology, enabling edge devices like drones and industrial robots to process data locally via GPU acceleration. This will reduce latency and increase operational efficiency, forming the neural backbone of Samsung’s future “physical AI” ecosystem.
“This AI-powered mobile network will play a crucial role as a neural network essential in the widespread adoption of physical AI,” Samsung added.
