In the wonderful world of technology, rumors spread. The latest concerns are MediaTek and Nvidia. According to the Chinese social network main information technology, The two companies are working on an “AI PC” processor with 3nm engraving technology using the TSMC manufacturing process and built on the ARM architecture. The latter appears to be on the verge of registration and should be mass-produced in the second half of next year.
This processor can be combined with an Nvidia GPU and customers may consider using it, ranging from Lenovo, Dell, HP, and Asus. If the news is true, this SoC could compete with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite series. The price of this AI processor could rise to £300 according to Taiwanese media outlet Economic Daily.
A shared history of innovation
The two companies are not new to this. They’ve been working together for a while now. Last March, they notably launched the Dimensity Auto Cockpit range based on the chip giant’s Drive technology.
The integrated platform consists of four automotive system-on-chips (SoCs), including Dimensity Auto Cockpit C-X1, C-Y1, C-M1 and C-V1, comprehensively covering the high-end (C-X1) and entry-level (C-V1) segments. . . “They will all be compatible with Nvidia DRIVE OS, allowing automakers to take advantage of familiar features across vehicle ranges.”MediaTek said at the time.
Recently, During Computex 2024MediaTek has announced the integration of Nvidia TAO into the NeuroPilot SDK, part of its inference chips roadmap. Goal: To deliver a new developer experience that delivers cutting-edge AI capabilities (including generative AI) for a wide range of IoT applications powered by MediaTek processors.
In fact, by choosing Tao, MediaTek can automate the process of tuning AI models and reduce development time and complexity, so developers can bring their products to market quickly. Taiwan is targeting various IoT sectors including retail, industry, healthcare, transportation, connected cities, etc.
The two companies find themselves on the same page for several reasons
It also seems that the two companies like to find themselves in several areas, including video games. At the Gamescom gathering in Cologne, Germany, MediaTek announced the integration of the full suite of Nvidia G-SYNC technologies into its benchmarking tools. The Taiwanese promise gamers superior picture quality, unparalleled motion clarity, ultra-low latency, extremely accurate colors and more advanced features on their displays.
