NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd DRC (LON: 0593xq) have announced an ambitious collaboration to create a cutting-edge AI factory that will merge intelligent computing with semiconductor manufacturing. The new facility, powered by over 50,000 NVIDIA GPUs, is set to become the cornerstone of Samsung’s digital transformation strategy.
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, described the partnership as the beginning of the “AI industrial revolution,” a new era that will reshape global design, production, and manufacturing. Samsung’s Executive Chairman, Jay Y. Lee, highlighted the companies’ long-standing relationship that began in 1995 when Samsung supplied DRAM for NVIDIA’s first graphics card.
The AI factory aims to revolutionize semiconductor production by integrating data from equipment and manufacturing workflows, enabling predictive maintenance, process optimization, and enhanced operational efficiency. Using NVIDIA’s Omniverse platform, Samsung is developing digital twins of its fabs, reducing the time from design to operation. The company is also deploying NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers with RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs to accelerate intelligent logistics.
In computational lithography, Samsung has implemented NVIDIA’s cuLitho library into its advanced lithography system, achieving up to 20 times greater performance in chip production. Beyond manufacturing, the collaboration expands into robotics and mobile devices, with Samsung leveraging NVIDIA robotics technologies for next-generation automation and humanoid robotics.
Additionally, NVIDIA and Samsung are collaborating with Korean telecom companies and universities to develop AI-RAN network technology, combining AI with mobile network workloads. This initiative complements NVIDIA’s broader efforts in South Korea, including partnerships with SK Group, Hyundai Motor Group, and the South Korean government to build advanced AI infrastructure nationwide.
