This would be a big step for Nvidia because it would show that established desktop GPU designs can also be ported to smartphone SoCs, reports Gizmochina. Also Read: Honor Power 2 Launches With iPhone 17 Pro-Like Design And 10,080mAh Battery: Price, Specs

It would also be beneficial for MediaTek to incorporate Nvidia GPUs into its SoCs because Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 currently outperforms MediaTek’s SoCs in terms of AI capabilities.
MediaTek might be able to dominate the premium market and increase the appeal of its SoCs to smartphone manufacturers if it can outperform Qualcomm even slightly, the report said.
Meanwhile, last week, MediaTek had said that it will be demonstrating its innovative 3GPP Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) technology that brings two-way satellite communications to smartphones at the Mobile World Congress (MWC), which will take place from February 27 to March 2 in Barcelona, Spain.
