NVIDIA and Samsung Electronics are joining hands to build an AI factory that links advanced computing with chip manufacturing. The AI factory will combine Samsung’s semiconductor technology with NVIDIA platforms to power AI-driven manufacturing and automation.
Samsung’s semiconductor AI factory, powered by more than 50,000 NVIDIA GPUs, will integrate advanced computing into chip production to enhance automation.
Together, Samsung and NVIDIA aim to apply AI to semiconductor manufacturing. The system will use data from equipment and production lines to enable predictive maintenance, optimize processes, and improve efficiency in automated fabrication facilities.
“We are at the dawn of the AI industrial revolution – a new era that will redefine how the world designs, builds and manufactures,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “As Korea’s and one of the world’s foremost technology and industrial leaders, Samsung is forging its AI foundation with NVIDIA to lead the future of intelligent and autonomous manufacturing – transforming Samsung itself and the many industries around the world built on Samsung technologies.”
“NVIDIA has been a visionary of this new AI era, and its technologies have empowered innovators to reinvent industries,” said Jay Y. Lee, executive chairman of Samsung Electronics. “From Samsung’s DRAM for NVIDIA’s game-changing graphics card in 1995 to our new AI factory, we are thrilled to continue our longstanding journey with NVIDIA in leading this transformation as we envision creating new standards for the future and accelerating breakthroughs for the world.”
NVIDIA and Samsung are expanding their semiconductor partnership to include HBM3E and HBM4 memory supply, GDDR, high-density memory modules, SOCAMM, custom solutions, and foundry services. The companies first collaborated on NVIDIA’s NV1 graphics card with Samsung DRAM and later developed the first commercial high-bandwidth memory (HBM).
Samsung is harnessing NVIDIA GPUs, NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries and solutions from Synopsys, Cadence and Siemens to achieve speedups in circuit simulation, verification and manufacturing analysis. The companies are collaborating with electronic design automation (EDA) partners to advance chip design and continue to develop GPU-accelerated EDA tools for AI-driven engineering.
Samsung uses the NVIDIA Omniverse platform as the foundation for its digital twins, which provide simulation environments. This environment helps fabs reduce design-to-production time and supports predictive maintenance, real-time decision-making, and factory automation.
To speed logistics with a unified platform, Samsung is deploying NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs.
To accelerate computational lithography – the companies are integrating the NVIDIA cuLitho library into Samsung’s lithography platform, OPC. The collaboration has led to 20x greater performance and deployment across semiconductor manufacturing.
Samsung Accelerates Smart Manufacturing with Digital Twins, Robotics and Generative AI
Samsung has developed proprietary AI models that power more than 400 million devices. These models support reasoning tasks such as translation, multilingual interaction, and summarization.
Samsung is also advancing robotics for manufacturing automation and humanoid robot applications using NVIDIA robotics technologies on NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers.
To speed robot deployment, Samsung uses NVIDIA Isaac Sim, built on NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Cosmos, to connect synthetic and real data, middleware, and teleoperation systems. It also integrates the NVIDIA Jetson Thor platform, optimized for humanoid robotics.
