Samsung and NVIDIA join forces to build world’s first AI Megafactory

The facility will deploy over 50,000 NVIDIA GPUs to revolutionize semiconductor manufacturing, integrating AI across design, production, and robotics to create the world’s most intelligent chipmaking ecosystem

In a major step toward reshaping global semiconductor production, Samsung Electronics has announced plans to establish a massive AI Megafactory in collaboration with NVIDIA. The new facility will utilize more than 50,000 NVIDIA GPUs, embedding artificial intelligence into every stage of Samsung’s manufacturing process — from chip design and testing to production and quality assurance.

The initiative aims to create an intelligent manufacturing ecosystem where AI continuously analyzes and optimizes operations in real time. This marks a major shift from traditional automation, with Samsung envisioning a fully connected, data-driven production system capable of enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and innovation across its semiconductor, mobile, and robotics divisions.

Strengthening a 25-year Samsung–NVIDIA partnership

The collaboration builds on a 25-year relationship between Samsung and NVIDIA, beginning with Samsung’s DRAM powering NVIDIA’s early graphics cards. The companies are now deepening their alliance through the development of HBM4 (High Bandwidth Memory 4) chips. Built using Samsung’s sixth-generation 10-nanometer DRAM and a 4nm logic base die, HBM4 offers speeds up to 11 Gbps, surpassing industry standards and setting new benchmarks for AI computing performance.

Samsung also plans to expand its next-generation memory offerings, including HBM, GDDR, and SOCAMM, along with advanced foundry services, reinforcing its leadership across the global AI value chain.

Accelerating digital transformation through AI and robotics

Leveraging NVIDIA’s Omniverse and CUDA-X libraries, Samsung will deploy digital twins to simulate entire fab operations virtually, allowing for predictive maintenance, optimized workflows, and faster design validation. The AI Megafactory will also incorporate GPU-accelerated EDA tools for chip design and AI-powered lithography that boosts computational performance by 20 times, enabling faster and more precise circuit patterning.

Beyond semiconductors, Samsung is extending AI integration into robotics and smart manufacturing, using NVIDIA’s RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell and Jetson Thor platforms to enhance automation, reasoning, and real-time decision-making. These advancements will power next-generation intelligent robots, connecting virtual simulations with real-world data for greater autonomy and safety.

With the AI Megafactory, Samsung and NVIDIA are not only redefining semiconductor manufacturing but also laying the foundation for a new era of intelligence-driven industries, where AI and robotics converge to fuel global innovation.
