Samsung has announced a next-generation artificial intelligence megafactory in collaboration with US chip giant Nvidia. The initiative aims to embed AI across Samsung’s semiconductor operations, revolutionising the process of chip design, analysis, and real-time production efficiency.
Samsung’s upcoming AI-driven platform will be powered by more than 50,000 Nvidia GPUs, allowing continuous data analysis, predictive insights and process optimisation, creating a smarter, faster and more adaptive semiconductor manufacturing environment across its production network.
The AI megafactory extends Samsung and Nvidia’s 25-year partnership that began with DRAM chip supplies for Nvidia’s early GPUs and now includes foundry, memory and advanced technologies such as HBM4 built with Samsung’s latest DRAM nodes.
Their current collaboration focuses on Nvidia’s HBM4 high-bandwidth memory, developed with Samsung’s sixth-generation 10-nanometre DRAM and 4-nanometre logic base die. Samsung also aims to expand its HBM, GDDR and SOCAMM range to boost the global AI chip supply chain.
With Nvidia’s Omniverse and Cuda-X, Samsung will build digital twins of its chip factories, enabling engineers to test processes, predict maintenance and improve chip yields without affecting real-world production.
Samsung will use Nvidia’s cuLitho software to improve computational lithography, a key stage in chipmaking. The upgrade could boost performance up to 20 times, enabling faster design cycles and more accurate, higher-yield semiconductor production.
Samsung’s advanced robotics will use Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPUs and Jetson Thor modules to process real-time data, enhancing automation and enabling humanoid robots and smart machines to perform tasks with greater precision and efficiency.
Samsung and Nvidia are jointly developing AI-RAN mobile network technology to let edge devices such as drones and industrial robots process data locally, reducing latency and enabling faster, smarter and more efficient operations across connected networks.
Samsung will also expand the AI factory network across its global semiconductor sites, including the upcoming Taylor, Texas plant. The initiative strengthens Samsung’s leadership in memory, logic, foundry, and advanced packaging, marking a key step in AI-led manufacturing transformation.
