NVIDIA (NVDA.O) will invest $3.5 billion in MediaTek via bonds convertible into
MediaTek shares, expanding cooperation between the two chip designers. Under the
arrangement MediaTek will adopt NVIDIA’s NVLink Fusion and the newly announced
NVHBM interconnect technologies to enable smoother communication among
data-center components; NVIDIA is pushing partners to build chips that can plug
into its dominant data-center ecosystem. MediaTek aims to help data-center
operators develop customized components to challenge Broadcom (AVGO.O) and
MARVELL (MRVL.O). Separately, Amazon (AMZN.O) previously agreed to deploy an
additional 2 million NVIDIA components and to use NVIDIA’s interconnect tech in
its in‑house chips.
