Yet the heart of the deal is less the money than the technology: MediaTek gains access to Nvidia&#8217;s <strong>NVLink Fusion<\/strong> platform. It lets cloud companies design their own AI accelerators (ASICs) that plug directly into Nvidia-based data centers. The two firms also plan to collaborate on AI PCs (RTX and DGX Spark) and in automotive (Nvidia Drive AGX).<\/p><div id=\"netgu-3125468353\" class=\"netgu-content netgu-entity-placement\"><aside

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MediaTek expects around $2 billion in 2026 revenue from its custom data-center ASIC business and is targeting roughly 15 percent of a market it pegs at about $80 billion by 2027 \u2013 ambitious, company-set goals. That puts it head-to-head with Broadcom and Marvell, which together control about 95 percent of the ASIC co-design market according to Bloomberg Intelligence and already supply Google and Amazon. Investors reacted fast: MediaTek shares jumped about 10 percent on Tuesday and are up close to 200 percent year to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The bigger picture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Nvidia, the move is strategic. A growing number of hyperscalers \u2013 Amazon, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic \u2013 are building their own chips to reduce their dependence on Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs. Through NVLink Fusion, Nvidia nonetheless stays the central infrastructure that even rival silicon must dock into \u2013 a &#8220;tollbooth&#8221; model. What remains open is how quickly MediaTek lands concrete large orders: the market-share figures cited are forecasts so far, not signed deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/08\/31\/nvidias-3-5b-mediatek-bet-reveals-its-plan-for-tackling-big-techs-ai-chip-buildout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">TechCrunch<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-08-31\/nvidia-to-invest-3-5-billion-in-chipmaker-mediatek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bloomberg<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/09\/01\/nvidia-deal-mediatek-shares.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">CNBC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendforce.com\/news\/2026\/08\/20\/news-marvell-amd-reportedly-shake-up-google-tpu-race-putting-broadcom-mediatek-under-pressure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">TrendForce<\/a>.
