Samsung Electronics today announced plans to create a new AI Megafactory in collaboration with NVIDIA, marking a major milestone in the company’s efforts to lead the global paradigm shift toward AI-driven manufacturing.
Samsung didn’t specify when or where the facility would be built; however, the plan includes deploying more than 50,000 NVIDIA GPUs. AI will be integrated throughout Samsung’s entire manufacturing process, speeding up the development and production of next-generation semiconductors, mobile devices, and robotics.
Samsung is also working with a range of NVIDIA AI platforms to connect virtual simulation and real-world robot data, enabling robots to understand their surroundings, make decisions and operate intelligently in real-life settings.
The announcement comes as Samsung and NVIDIA celebrate a partnership that has lasted over 25 years, starting with Samsung’s DRAM powering NVIDIA’s early graphics cards and continuing through their foundry collaboration.
Samsung plans to extend the use of these technologies into its AI Factory infrastructure and across its broader business areas, building out an intelligent manufacturing ecosystem that brings together AI and robotics.
This new initiative builds upon Samsung and NVIDIA’s collaboration last year, which successfully completed the proof-of-concept of AI-RAN through combining Samsung’s software-based network and NVIDIA GPU.
The partnership with Samsung supports Huang’s claim on Tuesday that Nvidia has a book of business that totals $500 billion.
