Phase 1 seed dataset, compiled by hand. These rows were built from public operator, laboratory and vendor sources. A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1092 of 1153 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 40 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

Figures are as last publicly reported for the configuration described below, not a live measurement. Where a system was upgraded in place, the post-upgrade configuration is shown and the earlier one appears in the timeline.
What this machine is made of
One row per supplier relationship. “Supplier at build” is the company that shipped the part at the time; where that company has since been acquired, the parent it rolls up to today is shown beside it. That distinction is what makes ticker-level aggregation possible across a thirty-year dataset.
| Role | Part | Supplier at build | Quantity | Confidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accelerator | - More than 50,000 NVIDIA GPUs (lower bound; SKU split not stated, RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition named among the hardware) | NVIDIA | 50,000 reported | Reported | nvidianews.nvidia.comtechspot.com |
AI datacenter metrics
Figures beyond an accelerator count, each with who stated it. What can and cannot be compared across AI datacenters.

| Accelerators | 50,000 accelerators | 2025-10 | Design target | 'Up to 50,000' NVIDIA GPUs planned for Samsung's AI factory, announced at APEC 31 Oct 2025. | blogs.nvidia.com |
The read
Samsung Electronics and NVIDIA announced on 30 October 2025 an AI factory of more than 50,000 NVIDIA GPUs to embed AI across Samsung's semiconductor, mobile and robotics manufacturing, including NVIDIA cuLitho and CUDA-X for optical proximity correction (a 20x computational-lithography gain is claimed), Omniverse digital twins of fabs, and Jetson Thor for robotics. NVIDIA's release names RTX PRO Servers with RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs among the hardware but gives no per-SKU split or delivery schedule, and the buildout is described as spanning the next several years. No site is named (the existing SSC-24 and SSC-21 TOP500 clusters are a separate, already-recorded Samsung installation), no FLOPS are published, and Samsung's own newsroom page could not be fetched, so this row relies on NVIDIA's release plus TechSpot's report and stays reported.
