This week at Computex 2025, our Vice Chairman and CEO, Rick Tsai, shared details about MediaTek’s partnership with NVIDIA to bring leading-edge AI solutions to the forefront of technology. As one of the first adopters of NVIDIA NVLink Fusion, MediaTek is leveraging its expertise in ASIC design and high-speed interconnects to create custom AI silicon that addresses the evolving needs of cloud-scale AI workloads. This is another example of MediaTek's teams of world-class talent continuing to develop technology advancements that will enhance and enrich life for everyone.
What is NVIDIA NVLink Fusion?
NVLink Fusion is a pathbreaking silicon technology developed by NVIDIA that empowers hyperscalers to create custom compute solutions within the NVIDIA NVLink ecosystem, recognized as the most advanced and widely adopted scale-up interconnect globally. This technology facilitates industry-leading AI performance scaling for custom AI accelerators or CPUs, enabling hyperscalers to leverage innovations such as NVIDIA NVLink, NVIDIA GPUs or NVIDIA Grace CPUs, co-packaged optics (CPO) switches, rack-scale architecture, and Mission Control. NVLink Fusion allows for heterogeneous silicon offerings while standardizing around a common rack design, ensuring high-performance AI factories can rapidly scale to meet the demands of intensive workloads, including model training and agentic AI inference. Supported by a robust architecture roadmap and a rich ecosystem of partners, NVLink Fusion provides hyperscalers with a comprehensive solution to deploy custom silicon efficiently, achieving the fastest time to market for AI factories.
