Nvidia announced on December 1, 2025 a strategic multiyear partnership with Synopsys backed by a $2 billion investment in Synopsys common stock at $414.79 per share. The goal is to integrate Nvidia’s high-performance computing, agentic AI, and digital twin technology into electronic design automation software. Circuit simulation is projected to run up to 30x faster on Grace Blackwell platforms, while chip verification could see up to 50x speedup through Synopsys AgentEngineer, delivering 20-30% productivity gains. Nvidia transitions from customer to shareholder after more than three decades of relying on Synopsys tools for its own chip designs.
