Samsung builds AI megafactory with NVIDIA

Samsung and NVIDIA are deepening their 25-year partnership with a major joint initiative: an AI megafactory powered by more than 50,000 NVIDIA GPUs. The system will embed artificial intelligence across Samsung’s entire manufacturing workflow, accelerating the development of next-generation semiconductors, mobile devices, and robotics. The goal is to unify Samsung’s complex production processes into a single, intelligent network that utilizes AI to analyze, predict, and optimize operations in real-time.

To scale this effort, Samsung will use NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platforms and build digital twins of its fabrication facilities using NVIDIA Omniverse. These virtual replicas will enable predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, and production optimization before physical changes are implemented. The AI infrastructure is expected to expand to Samsung’s global sites, including its U.S. facility in Taylor, Texas.

Beyond the megafactory, the two companies are collaborating on multiple fronts. They are co-developing HBM4 memory using Samsung’s sixth-generation 10-nanometer-class DRAM and a 4-nanometer logic base die, targeting speeds up to 11 gigabits per second. Samsung has also achieved a 20-fold speedup in computational lithography using NVIDIA’s cuLitho and CUDA-X libraries. Additional joint efforts include GPU-accelerated electronic design automation tools, custom large language models built using NVIDIA’s Megatron framework, robotics powered by NVIDIA’s RTX PRO 6000 and Jetson Thor platforms, and AI-RAN development with Korean telecom and academic partners to enhance cellular networks with on-device AI capabilities.
