Key facts
- MediaTek's Dimensity Auto platforms integrate Nvidia AI technologies and RTX graphics for intelligent vehicle cockpits and can operate alongside Nvidia Drive AGX
- Nvidia and MediaTek this week announced a major expansion of their partnership under which Nvidia is investing $3.5 billion in convertible bonds issued by MediaTek, while the latter adopts NVLink

Summary
Intel's roadmaps examined, 14A, Nova Lake, Diamond Rapids & AI accelerator push. Having become the world's largest supplier of AI accelerators, Nvidia does not have direct rivals of comparable size. AWS, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and now OpenAI are developing their own AI accelerators partly to reduce dependence on expensive merchant GPUs. MediaTek will use NVLink Fusion as the foundation for custom accelerators that can evolve alongside future Nvidia architectures.
