Samsung is forging a groundbreaking partnership with NVIDIA to bolster its cutting-edge AI chip factory, which promises to revolutionize semiconductor manufacturing. The collaboration involves South Korea's largest companies, including Hyundai, SK Group conglomerate member SK Hynix, and the South Korean government itself.
The massive endeavor will harness 50,000 NVIDIA Blackwell server GPUs and other cutting-edge technologies to create a robust AI infrastructure that enhances Samsung's chip production processes, predicting maintenance needs more accurately and boosting autonomous operations efficiency. By working closely with NVIDIA, Samsung aims to adapt its lithography platform to seamlessly integrate GPU capabilities, yielding 20 times greater performance.
In addition to its own initiatives, Hyundai is set to utilize the same NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs for developing AI models catering to manufacturing and autonomous driving applications. Meanwhile, SK Hynix will rely on these chips to power its industrial AI cloud, backed by NVIDIA's vision of powering the "next generation of memory, robotics, digital twins, and intelligent AI agents."
The partnership is not limited to private sector collaborations. NVIDIA has also formed a strategic alliance with the South Korean government to establish a sovereign AI infrastructure. The initiative involves deploying 50,000 NVIDIA GPUs at the National AI Computing Center, as well as other facilities owned by prominent South Korean companies such as Kakao and Naver.
This significant collaboration not only underscores the growing importance of artificial intelligence in industries like manufacturing but also highlights the role that partnerships can play in driving technological advancements.
