Nvidia Invests $3.5 Billion in MediaTek to Deepen AI Chip Partnership

Nvidia is investing $3.5 billion in Taiwanese chipmaker MediaTek through convertible bonds, a move announced on August 31, 2026, that deepens their partnership and aims to embed Nvidia's technology more firmly across the AI hardware ecosystem. The agreement, detailed in a joint statement, will see MediaTek adopt Nvidia's NVLink Fusion platform and other technologies to help data center operators design custom AI chips that integrate seamlessly with Nvidia's infrastructure. The investment is a strategic play by Nvidia to ensure its hardware and interconnect standards remain central to the AI buildout, even as its largest customers develop their own chips.
