NVIDIA and Samsung Electronics have announced a groundbreaking collaboration to build the world’s first AI-powered semiconductor factory, marking a major leap in the integration of artificial intelligence and advanced chip manufacturing.
The new AI factory will combine Samsung’s cutting-edge semiconductor technologies with NVIDIA’s high-performance computing platforms to form the backbone of next-generation, AI-driven production systems. Powered by more than 50,000 NVIDIA GPUs, the facility will serve as a core hub of Samsung’s digital transformation strategy, embedding accelerated computing directly into the company’s manufacturing processes.
The partnership aims to pioneer AI-driven semiconductor production at scale, merging data from physical equipment and production workflows to enable predictive maintenance, optimize efficiency, and power autonomous factory operations.
“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. “Samsung is forging its AI foundation with NVIDIA to lead the future of intelligent and autonomous manufacturing.”
“From Samsung’s DRAM for NVIDIA’s first graphics card in 1995 to our new AI factory, we’re continuing a 25-year journey of innovation,” added Jay Y. Lee, Executive Chairman of Samsung Electronics. “Together, we are creating new standards for the future and accelerating breakthroughs for the world.”
The collaboration expands on a longstanding partnership between the two technology giants. From early DRAM collaborations for NVIDIA’s NV1 graphics card to joint innovations in HBM memory (HBM3E and HBM4), GDDR, and advanced chip solutions, Samsung and NVIDIA have built a legacy of co-developing technologies that power the AI era.
Beyond manufacturing, Samsung is deploying NVIDIA Omniverse™ for digital twins of its fabs, enabling real-time simulations, operational planning, and predictive maintenance. This approach allows Samsung’s facilities to transition faster from design to production while maintaining precision and automation.
Additionally, Samsung is utilizing NVIDIA’s cuLitho library to accelerate computational lithography — one of the most complex stages of chipmaking — achieving up to 20x performance improvements in its optical proximity correction (OPC) systems.
The company is also scaling its AI robotics and automation initiatives using NVIDIA Isaac Sim™, Cosmos™ world foundation models, and the Jetson Thor™ edge AI platform, allowing robots to better understand and interact with their environment in real time.
Samsung’s in-house AI models, already powering over 400 million devices, will also benefit from this collaboration, advancing generative AI capabilities for translation, summarization, and intelligent automation across devices and factories.
Together, Samsung and NVIDIA are shaping what they describe as the AI Industrial Revolution — a world where semiconductor design, production, and automation are powered by the same intelligent computing systems that those chips will ultimately support.
