Nvidia to invest $3.5B in MediaTek to expand beyond GPUs
Nvidia will invest $3.5 billion in Taiwan’s MediaTek to fund chip development beyond graphics processors and deepen collaboration on AI, mobile and edge computing.
Nvidia will provide $3.5 billion to MediaTek in a strategic deal aimed at broadening chip development beyond graphics processors, the two companies announced. The funding is intended to support new product lines and research and development across AI, mobile and edge computing.
Nvidia, based in Santa Clara, California, is known for graphics processing units and data-center accelerators. MediaTek, headquartered in Hsinchu, Taiwan, is a major fabless semiconductor designer whose system-on-chip products are used in smartphones, smart TVs, broadband equipment and other connected devices.
Company statements said the capital will accelerate MediaTek’s work on next-generation chips and strengthen collaboration on chip design and platform integration. The firms described the agreement as a strategic partnership but did not disclose the full financial terms or the precise structure of the investment.
The announcement did not provide a timetable or specify ownership stakes and governance changes. The companies said those details will be released in financial and regulatory filings and may be subject to review by authorities in relevant markets.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang commented, “We will work with MediaTek on chip design and platform integration to reach more devices with AI capabilities.” The companies said they plan joint engineering efforts and commercial arrangements that could affect product road maps for smartphones, smart home devices, data centers and automotive systems, but they did not announce specific products.
The firms noted the transaction aligns with their longer-term strategies to address demand for AI and edge computing. MediaTek will use the funds to expand its product portfolio and research, while Nvidia will deepen technical and commercial ties with a large Asia-based partner.
Both companies reiterated that final terms and timing remain subject to negotiation and regulatory clearances. Additional specifics are expected in future regulatory filings and company disclosures.
