The South Korean giant said Friday that it will deploy over 50,000 Nvidia graphics processing units, embedding AI throughout the entire semiconductor manufacturing flow, which it said will accelerate the development and production process of semiconductors, mobile devices and robotics.
“Samsung’s AI Factory will integrate every aspect of semiconductor manufacturing, from design and process to equipment, operations and quality control, into a single intelligent network,” it said.
It plans to integrate its AI factory infrastructure, including Nvidia’s robotic platform for humanoid robotics and manufacturing automation, across its global manufacturing hubs, including in Texas. It aims to improve the chipmaking process, from design to production, and optimize production in real-time.
Samsung’s partnership with Nvidia spans decades. The company has been developing proprietary AI models that power more than 400 million of its devices, built on Nvidia’s accelerated computing and Megatron framework, it said.
