Samsung and Nvidia Partner to Build AI Megafactory Powered by 50,000 GPUs for Next-Gen Computing

In collaboration with US chipmaker Nvidia, Samsung has revealed plans to build a next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) "megafactory". Focus Taiwan reported on the venture, which was unveiled on 31 October and intends to incorporate AI into Samsung's whole semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem.

Samsung claims that the platform, which will run on over 50,000 Nvidia GPUs, would function as an "intelligent manufacturing platform" that can analyse, forecast, and optimise chip production in real time. The Samsung AI Factory goes beyond conventional automation, according to Samsung officials. "It links and analyses vast amounts of data produced by chip design, manufacturing, and equipment operations."

Samsung and Nvidia Collaboration

The megafactory is the most recent development in Samsung and Nvidia's 25-year collaboration. Their partnership started when Samsung provided DRAM chips for Nvidia's initial graphics cards, and it has since grown to cover memory and foundry technologies. Current collaborative initiatives include the creation of HBM4, Nvidia's next-generation high-bandwidth memory, which is constructed with a 4nm logic base die and Samsung's sixth-generation 10nm-class DRAM.

Samsung stated that in order to promote innovation and scalability throughout the global AI value chain, it will keep expanding its portfolio of HBM, GDDR, and SOCAMM solutions in addition to foundry services. Nvidia's Omniverse and CUDA-X platforms, which will allow Samsung to build digital twins of whole semiconductor fabs, will be at the centre of the new AI factory.

By simulating actual industrial circumstances, these virtual models enable engineers to test new procedures, forecast repair requirements, and optimise operations without halting actual production.

Samsung Plans to Utilise Nvidia’s AI Capabilities

Samsung intends to use Nvidia's AI capabilities for robotics and automation in addition to chip design and lithography. The company is using Jetson Thor modules to support real-time AI reasoning and execution in its smart robotic systems and RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs to improve the performance of humanoid robots. Additionally, AI-enhanced mobile networks will be included in the partnership.

Samsung and Nvidia are working together to create AI-RAN technology, which will allow edge devices—like industrial robots and drones—to process real-time data locally with GPU acceleration, lowering latency and improving operational efficiency. According to Samsung, this AI-powered mobile network will be vital to the broad use of physical AI since it is a neural network. Samsung intends to implement AI factory infrastructure in all of its semiconductor operations, including the one that will soon be built in Taylor, Texas.

The action highlights the company's goal of being the industry leader in memory, logic, foundry, and advanced packaging, among other semiconductor categories. More than 400 million consumer gadgets are already powered by Samsung's in-house AI models. The company plans to include comparable features into its manufacturing systems through its new Megatron architecture, allowing for sophisticated reasoning across production lines, multilingual interaction, and intelligent summarisation.
