Samsung and NVIDIA are now significantly enhancing their 25-year collaborative relationship by undertaking a project to build a full-fledged AI factory, equipped with over 50,000 NVIDIA GPUs, El.kz cites wccftech.com.

In addition, the two behemoths continue to collaborate with each other in diverse spheres, including HBM4, EDA tools, and AI-RAN.

"By deploying more than 50,000 NVIDIA GPU’s, AI will be embedded throughout Samsung's entire manufacturing flow, accelerating development and production of next-generation semiconductors, mobile devices and robotics."

Samsung intends to use this AI megafactory to integrate its labyrinthine manufacturing processes into "a single intelligent network, where AI continuously analyzes, predicts, and optimizes production environments in real time."

To scale its AI factory in the years to come, Samsung also plans to leverage NVIDIA accelerated computing and implement digital twin manufacturing with the help of NVIDIA Omniverse libraries.

For those who may not be aware, NVIDIA Omniverse is a simulation platform for building and operating real-time 3D applications, services, and virtual worlds. The digital twin manufacturing allows for the creation of a virtual replica of a physical manufacturing process, enabling companies to monitor and analyze the entire process in real-time.

Samsung plans to build digital twins to digitally visualize its fab operations, using these "virtual environments to identify anomalies, perform predictive maintenance, and optimize production before changes are applied in the physical world."

Eventually, Samsung plans to expand its AI factory infrastructure to its global manufacturing hubs, including its US base in Taylor.
