Nvidia has invested $3.5 billion in convertible bonds issued by MediaTek, formalizing an expanded partnership spanning AI infrastructure, local computing and automotive technologies.
The collaboration will focus on three core areas: AI infrastructure, local computing and automotive systems. MediaTek will adopt Nvidia’s NVLink Fusion platform, enabling hyperscalers, cloud providers and frontier model developers to build custom XPUs integrated into Nvidia NVLink-connected, rack-scale AI factories.
In local computing, the companies will continue developing generations of Nvidia RTX Spark and DGX Spark PC chips, including the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip used in Nvidia DGX Spark systems. They have extended this work to include Nvidia RTX Spark for next-generation consumer PCs.
For automotive applications, MediaTek’s Dimensity Auto platforms will integrate Nvidia technologies to deliver AI and RTX graphics for intelligent vehicle cockpits. These platforms are designed to operate alongside Nvidia DRIVE AGX systems.
The NVLink Fusion platform includes a multi-die XPU development foundation featuring the Nvidia NVLink Fusion chiplet, NVLink-C2C for connectivity between XPUs and Nvidia Rosa CPUs, and NVHBM for memory capabilities.
Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang said AI is transforming computing across platforms, from AI factories to PCs and cars, and that MediaTek’s expertise in SoC design and power efficiency complements Nvidia’s accelerated computing platforms. MediaTek CEO Rick Tsai said the investment strengthens a partnership aimed at making advanced AI computing pervasive across cloud, local and automotive markets.
