Nvidia and MediaTek Deepen Partnership to Drive AI Computing Innovation

Nvidia and MediaTek have expanded their partnership to develop AI computing platforms across infrastructure, local computing, and automotive sectors. The two companies will work together on several fronts, including developing custom AI infrastructure for hyperscalers, cloud service providers, and frontier model developers.

MediaTek will adopt Nvidia's NVLink Fusion platform to provide a path for customers to develop custom XPUs and integrate them into Nvidia NVLink-connected rack-scale AI factories. This collaboration is part of the $3.5 billion investment made by Nvidia in convertible bonds issued by MediaTek.

The partnership covers three main areas: AI infrastructure, where MediaTek will work with Nvidia's NVLink Fusion ecosystem; automotive, where the companies will continue developing platforms for AI-powered software-defined vehicles; and local computing, where they will collaborate on multiple generations of Nvidia RTX Spark and DGX Spark PC chips.

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, said, 'AI is transforming every computing platform, from the world’s largest AI factories to the PC and the car.' He emphasized that MediaTek's expertise in system-on-chip design, connectivity, leading performance, and power efficiency makes them a valuable partner for Nvidia.

The NVLink Fusion platform provides a foundation for multi-die XPU development, including the Nvidia NVLink Fusion chiplet, Nvidia NVLink-C2C for connectivity between XPUs and Nvidia Rosa CPUs, and Nvidia NVHBM for memory capabilities.
