MediaTek and NVIDIA are teaming up to develop an advanced AI-enabled processor that rivals Apple's M4 PC chips.
New AI chip
Partnership announcement
According to Taiwanese media reports, MediaTek and NVIDIA are planning joint development of a high-performance processor based on ARM architecture for personal computers. This innovative chip, focused on smart computing, will be a direct competitor to Apple M4 solutions for PCs. The partnership between the two technology giants is designed to combine NVIDIA's strengths in GPUs and MediaTek's expertise in creating ARM architectures.
Development timelines and details
The design of the new chip is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year. Mass production is planned to begin in the first half of 2025 after a testing phase in the third quarter. The processor will be manufactured using TSMC's advanced 3nm process technology using innovative CoWoS (Chip-on-wafer-on-substrate) packaging. The estimated cost of the chip will be about $300.
High performance and energy efficiency
Thanks to the synergy of NVIDIA and MediaTek capabilities, the new processor will be able to provide Outstanding performance in graphics processing and artificial intelligence tasks with high energy efficiency. Despite the problems with cooling and throttling in the latest MediaTek mobile chips, for desktop PCs and laptops with powerful cooling systems such restrictions will not be so critical.
