Samsung Electronics has announced a partnership with Nvidia to create a next-generation AI mega-factory that will integrate artificial intelligence across its entire global semiconductor production line, running on more than 50,000 Nvidia GPUs.

The “Samsung AI Factory” will embed AI into every manufacturing phase, from semiconductor design and processing to equipment control and quality assurance.

The intelligent manufacturing platform will analyse, predict, and optimise manufacturing conditions in real time.

“The Samsung AI Factory goes beyond traditional automation,” a Samsung Electronics official said.

“It connects and interprets immense data generated across chip design, production and equipment operations.”

The initiative builds on a 25-year partnership between Samsung and Nvidia that began when Samsung supplied DRAM for Nvidia’s early graphics cards.

The relationship has expanded to include foundry and memory technologies, with current joint efforts focused on HBM4 high-bandwidth memory using Samsung’s sixth-generation 10nm-class DRAM and 4nm logic base die.

The mega-factory will utilise Nvidia’s Omniverse and Cuda-X platforms to construct “digital twins” of entire chip fabs, virtual models allowing engineers to simulate equipment operations and potential upgrades before physical implementation.

These simulations support predictive maintenance and process optimisation.

On production floors, Samsung is deploying Nvidia’s cuLitho software to achieve up to 20 times faster performance in computational lithography, boosting optical proximity correction processes that enable AI to more precisely predict and fix circuit pattern variations, improving development speed and chip yield.

Samsung is working with electronic design automation partners to develop GPU-accelerated design tools.

For robotics and factory automation, Samsung is deploying Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition for humanoid robots and using Jetson Thor for real-time AI reasoning in smart robots.

The partnership extends to next-generation mobile networks through joint AI-RAN development.

The system allows edge devices like drones and industrial robots to carry out real-time AI inference and decision-making using Nvidia’s GPU compute power combined with Samsung’s software-based mobile network infrastructure.

“This AI-powered mobile network will play a crucial role as a neural network essential in the widespread adoption of physical AI,” the official said.

Samsung plans to apply the AI factory infrastructure across global sites, including the new chip fab under construction in Taylor, Texas.

The move reinforces ambitions to lead in memory, logic, foundry, and advanced packaging.

Samsung’s AI models already run in over 400 million consumer devices.

The company now aims to embed these capabilities into its own factories through the Megatron framework, supporting multilingual interactions, intelligent summarisation, and advanced reasoning.

“This is a critical milestone in our journey to lead the global shift toward AI-driven manufacturing,” the official said.

“Samsung will continue to deliver next-generation memory solutions, including HBM, GDDR and SOCAMM, as well as foundry services, driving innovation and scalability across the global AI value chain,” the official added.
