Samsung Stock: Teams Up With Nvidia to Build AI-Powered Chip Factory

TLDR:

• Samsung to buy 50,000 Nvidia $NVDA GPUs for new “AI Megafactory.”

• Facility will automate chip manufacturing for mobile and robotics.

• Samsung and Nvidia to co-develop HBM4 memory for next-gen AI chips.

• Partnership deepens Nvidia’s $5T valuation and global AI dominance.

• Samsung shares rose over 4% after the announcement.

Samsung is joining forces with Nvidia to launch a massive AI-driven manufacturing hub. The South Korean giant plans to purchase 50,000 Nvidia GPUs to power its new “AI Megafactory.”

The project aims to automate semiconductor production for mobile devices and robotics, while improving chip yields and speed. Samsung has not revealed a construction timeline yet.

A $5 Trillion Partner and a Global AI Push

The deal extends Samsung’s two-decade partnership with Nvidia. CEO Jensen Huang met with Samsung Chairman Jay Y. Lee in Seoul this week, signaling closer collaboration between the two tech leaders.

Nvidia, fresh off reaching a $5 trillion market cap, continues to expand its business through deep partnerships. Huang said the company now has $500 billion in GPU orders across its Blackwell and Rubin architectures.

Nvidia executives said Samsung’s use of its GPUs will make lithography processes up to 20 times more efficient. Samsung will also deploy Nvidia’s Omniverse simulation platform to enhance production accuracy.

HBM Memory Race Heats Up

Alongside the AI facility, Samsung confirmed it is in “close discussion” to supply Nvidia with its next-generation HBM4 chips. These high-bandwidth memory units are crucial for powering large AI models.

Samsung plans to market HBM4 in 2026, competing with rival SK Hynix, which will begin shipping HBM4 later this year. Samsung currently sells its HBM3E chips to “all major customers,” including Nvidia.

Analysts say a successful HBM4 launch could help Samsung reclaim market share lost in the AI memory boom. “If Samsung supplies HBM4 to Nvidia, it could secure a major position it missed in prior cycles,” said Jeff Kim of KB Securities.

AI Megafactory and Industry Impact

The new facility will serve both as a production plant and a research site for next-gen AI chips. Samsung will use the GPUs to simulate design workflows, train internal AI models, and optimize manufacturing.

The collaboration highlights South Korea’s growing role in the global AI supply chain. Nvidia’s Asia-Pacific VP, Raymond Teh, said the company is working with the Korean government to advance national AI initiatives.

Samsung’s share price jumped more than 4% after the news, extending a 60% rally since July. Investors expect the company’s renewed AI strategy and memory sales to drive continued growth into 2026.
