Samsung Electronics has unveiled plans for a groundbreaking AI Megafactory in partnership with NVIDIA, marking a major leap forward in intelligence-driven manufacturing. The new facility will deploy more than 50,000 NVIDIA GPUs, embedding AI across Samsung’s entire production chain to accelerate the development of semiconductors, mobile devices, and robotics. By integrating artificial intelligence at every stage—from design and process engineering to operations and quality control—Samsung aims to build a fully synchronized manufacturing ecosystem where AI continually analyzes data, predicts outcomes, and optimizes production in real time.
This initiative transforms traditional automation into a unified, intelligent platform capable of interpreting vast data produced across semiconductor design and fabrication. The AI Megafactory will act as the backbone of Samsung’s next-generation manufacturing vision, strengthening its leadership in the global AI transformation.
Expanding a 25-Year Partnership
Samsung and NVIDIA’s collaboration spans more than two decades, beginning with Samsung memory powering NVIDIA’s early graphics cards. Today, their partnership extends into advanced chip development, including joint work on HBM4 memory technology. Built on Samsung’s 6th-generation 10-nm-class DRAM with a 4-nm logic base die, the company’s HBM4 achieves speeds up to 11Gbps—well above industry standards—positioning it as a key accelerator for future AI workloads.
Samsung will continue advancing high-performance memory solutions such as HBM, GDDR, and SOCAMM, alongside expanding foundry services tailored for AI and high-performance computing applications.
Accelerating Intelligent Manufacturing
Over the coming years, Samsung will scale its AI Factory using NVIDIA accelerated computing and NVIDIA Omniverse, enabling advanced digital-twin simulations across its global manufacturing operations. The company has already realized a 20-fold improvement in computational lithography performance using NVIDIA cuLitho and CUDA-X libraries, allowing AI to enhance wafer patterning speed and accuracy while shortening development cycles.
In electronic design automation, Samsung and NVIDIA are collaborating with EDA partners to develop next-generation GPU-accelerated design tools. Digital-twin technology will allow Samsung to detect anomalies, enhance predictive maintenance, and optimize factory performance before real-world deployment. The company plans to roll out the AI Factory model to international hubs, including its facility in Taylor, Texas.
Building the AI-Robotics Future
Samsung is also advancing AI and robotics capabilities using NVIDIA platforms, including Megatron and Jetson Thor. These technologies power Samsung’s 400+ million AI-enabled devices and support breakthroughs in humanoid robotics, intelligent manufacturing systems, and real-time physical AI.
Additionally, Samsung and NVIDIA are collaborating with telecom providers and research institutions on AI-RAN—future mobile network infrastructure that integrates AI at the network edge to power intelligent robotics, drones, and industrial automation.
