Summary
The semiconductor giants are tying their futures together around custom AI accelerators, NVLink Fusion, and a $3.9B bond offering that drew in Alphabet too. The bond purchase is part of a broader $3.9 billion offering by MediaTek, which means Nvidia absorbed the lion’s share. MediaTek will integrate Nvidia’s NVLink Fusion platform, a technology that allows chips from different manufacturers to talk to each other at high speed within a single system. The result of that integration will be custom AI accelerators that MediaTek is developing under the XPU label.
