Semiconductor giant Nvidia agreed to invest $3.5 billion in Taiwanese chipmaker MediaTek (TPE:2454) through the subscription of convertible bonds, according to a Monday statement.
MediaTek shares jumped 10% in Tuesday's trade.
The move is aimed at deepening a partnership between Nvidia and MediaTek. Under the expanded agreement, MediaTek will adopt Nvidia's NVLink Fusion platform, designed to help hyperscalers, cloud providers, and AI model developers build custom accelerator chips that connect into Nvidia's rack-scale data center systems.
The pact also entails enhancing existing collaboration on Nvidia RTX Spark and DGX Spark chips for consumer and enterprise PCs, as well as AI-powered automotive platforms built around MediaTek's Dimensity Auto line.
