  • MediaTek could soon integrate Nvidia's AI GPUs in higher-end mobile chips.
  • MediaTek chips with Nvidia AI GPUs could arrive next year.
  • With this partnership, MediaTek will have an edge that could further help it in dominating the premium market.

Chipmaker MediaTek will reportedly integrate Nvidia's artificial intelligence (AI) graphics processing units (GPUs) in its upcoming 2024 flagship system-on-chips (SoCs). Also Read: NVIDIA introduces DLSS 5 with focus on real-time visual enhancements

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: Nothing CMF Phone 1 breached in under a minute? This research shows concerning MediaTek vulnerability

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.
