NVIDIA is working with semiconductor provider MediaTek on a project to create next-generation ARM chipsets, Digitimes says, citing sources from a production channel in Asia.

Remember Samsung’s alliance with AMD to equip Exynos SoCs with Radeon graphics chips? Well, something very similar is what is being announced out of Taiwan with MediaTek and NVIDIA starring. And attention, because in this case not limited to mobile devices onlybut also to personal computers and specifically to the Windows platform on ARM.

The agreement takes this into account NVIDIA contributes graphics chips in next-generation chipsets from MediaTek. Suffice it to say that the green giant has plenty of technology and resources to design exactly what the Chinese manufacturer needs, raising its potential by several levels in tasks such as gaming or artificial intelligence.

As for NVIDIA, while most of its revenue comes from its far-leading GeForce dedicated graphics cards, Quadro line of workstations, and data center accelerators, it’s no stranger to low-end chip development. has many years of experience in the production of Tegra for its Shield product line, as well as being responsible for motoring the Switch console. And the following, because the deal with Nintendo is said to be long-term, and the green giant already has an updated SoC for the Switch 2.

Great potential, no doubt. And just this type of agreement win-win they are much needed to compete with Qualcomm or other giants such as Apple, which has surpassed everyone with its own ARM designs. So interesting are the NVIDIA and MediaTek solutions that may arrive for mobile devices, like those mentioned for PCs.

Windows on ARM needs support “like food” if it doesn’t want to disappear forever. Microsoft has a lot going on on the software side, but there’s no doubt that a hardware upgrade (and NVIDIA has the technology to do that) would be a good move to start with.
