Nvidia has announced plans to invest $3.5 billion into MediaTek, a Taiwanese semiconductor company. The investment is part of an ongoing partnership between the two companies to develop future AI computing platforms. Nvidia will use MediaTek's NVLink Fusion platform and NVHBM technology in this venture. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and MediaTek CEO Rick Tsai emphasized the shared vision for bringing accelerated computing to new markets and empowering customers to create differentiated AI systems.
The investment, reported to be the largest direct investment outside the US by Nvidia, aims to strengthen the collaboration across cloud AI infrastructure, local AI computing, and automotive sectors. Meanwhile, Nvidia's printed circuit board supplier, Unimicron, is under investigation by Taiwanese authorities due to suspicions of labeling Chinese-made boards as 'made in Taiwan,' potentially violating forgery laws.
