Taipei, July 2025 – MediaTek’s push into the artificial intelligence (AI) hardware sector is entering a new phase, as the GB10 super chip, co-developed with global GPU giant Nvidia, begins mass shipments this month. The chip serves as the core of Nvidia’s first personal AI supercomputer and has garnered significant attention from major PC brands, marking a new milestone in MediaTek’s diversification beyond mobile chipsets.
The GB10 chip will be featured in AI terminal products launching throughout the second half of 2025, signifying the start of a critical harvest period for MediaTek’s personal AI computing strategy. Industry watchers expect this move to strengthen the company’s foothold in the high-performance AI and cloud computing market, further boosting its non-smartphone business portfolio.
💻 Collaboration with Nvidia Sets New AI Benchmark
MediaTek and Nvidia first announced their partnership in January 2025, during the final moments of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote speech at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The announcement was dubbed the “CES finale” and took the tech world by surprise.
The centerpiece of this collaboration is Project DIGITS, Nvidia’s smallest AI supercomputer to date. The GB10 chip is the heart of this device, offering breakthrough AI computing power in a compact form. According to MediaTek, the chip leverages Nvidia’s Grace Blackwell architecture, designed to revolutionize local AI and cloud processing capabilities.
⚙ DGX Spark: Bringing AI Power to the Desktop
One of the major outcomes of this collaboration is the DGX Spark, touted as the world’s smallest AI supercomputer. It can handle up to 1,000 TOPS (trillions of operations per second) of AI computing and is capable of running, fine-tuning, and reasoning complex AI models with up to 200 billion parameters—all from a desktop-sized machine.
The system allows developers to prototype and experiment with advanced AI models locally, with the flexibility to later export them to Nvidia’s DGX Cloud or other high-performance data centers. This innovation is expected to accelerate AI adoption among developers, researchers, and institutions globally.
🖥 Global PC Brands Back the Launch
Nvidia plans to begin distributing DGX Spark-related products starting this July to top global PC manufacturers and OEMs, including Acer, Asus, Dell, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo, and MSI, as well as through global channel partners. The rollout positions the GB10 chip as a cornerstone technology for the next generation of personal AI computing.
Industry analysts see this as a win-win: it strengthens Nvidia’s AI ecosystem while cementing MediaTek’s place as a key player in high-performance AI chip design.
🌐 Looking Ahead: MediaTek Eyes Long-Term AI Growth
Despite uncertainties in the global trade landscape—especially surrounding tariff impacts—MediaTek said it remains focused on collaborating closely with global partners and reinforcing its supply chain resilience.
The company believes the future of AI remains strong and pervasive, and that AI integration across industries will only deepen. Backed by a solid financial foundation, MediaTek plans to invest further in strategic technologies and new projects that create lasting value for customers and global innovation ecosystems.
MediaTek’s GB10 launch signals not just a technological breakthrough, but a broader shift in the AI hardware market—one that brings enterprise-level AI capabilities closer to personal computing than ever before.
