Taiwan-based chip manufacturer MediaTek may partner with US chip giant Nvidia to develop an AI PC processor based on ARM architecture, according to Taiwanese media outlet Economic Daily News, aiming to complete the tape-out in the third quarter of 2024. The new chip may cost as much as $300. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is scheduled to visit Taiwan on June 2 for the COMPUTEX (Taipei International Information Technology Show), and MediaTek will also announce details of its collaboration with Nvidia on the AI PC chip next month, the report added. Additionally, ARM, the British semiconductor and software design company, is reportedly planning to launch its own AI chip prototype and establish an AI chip division next spring before entering mass production by handing it over to contractors next fall.
