NVIDIA's Strategic Partnership With Synopsys Aims to Accelerate AI-First R&D

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the fastest-growing semiconductor stocks to buy. On December 1, 2025, NVIDIA and Synopsys announced a multiyear strategic partnership that includes a $2 billion investment by NVIDIA in Synopsys common stock.

The partners said they will integrate NVIDIA accelerated computing and AI with Synopsys’ design and simulation stack so R&D teams can design, simulate, and verify products with greater speed and precision, at lower cost. Synopsys applications will be broadly accelerated using CUDA-X libraries and AI physics. The plan also connects Synopsys AgentEngineer with NVIDIA’s agentic stack, including NIM microservices, the NeMo Agent Toolkit, and Nemotron models, to enable autonomous design capabilities in EDA and simulation workflows.

They will build next-generation digital twins using NVIDIA Omniverse and Cosmos across industries such as semiconductor, aerospace, automotive, energy, industrial, and healthcare, with cloud-ready offerings and joint go-to-market initiatives leveraging Synopsys’ global sales network. The official release specifies the purchase price of $414.79 per share and notes the collaboration is non-exclusive.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a leader in AI and accelerated computing, providing GPU platforms and software that power workloads from data centers to edge devices.
