- Medatek CPUs and memory fuses with NVIDIA GPUs in GB10 Superchip Cooperation
- Strategic Reliance Spark’s speculation about NVIDIA that is pursuing $ 73 billion media
- Regulating obstacles aside, GB10 shows transformative potential in their partnership
Mediatek’s role in Nvidia’s GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip has been ready in a new presentation, so should NVIDIA manager Jensen Huang consider the acquisition of the Taiwanese company of $ 73 billion?
GB10, which was originally to come in July 2025, but delayed, is presented as a mixture of Mediatek’s CPU and memory design with Nvidia’s GPU expertise.
By leaning on Mediatek’s system-on-chip experience, Nvidia has been able to demonstrate how industry standards and protocols can tie its Blackwell GPU to a compact and effective package.
A acquisition makes a lot of sense
This collaboration, formally recognized in the presentation, is what makes me speculate on a deeper business layer.
Nvidia has shown a willingness to pursue large acquisitions in the past, such as its failed $ 40 billion bid for arm back in 2022.
Authorities blocked this agreement, quoted competition problems and a similar challenge would probably face any attempt to buy Medatek.
Taiwan’s government could also be reluctant to see one of its most valuable semiconductor companies acquired by a US company.
Yet Nvidia’s dependence on Medatek in GB10 highlights the strategic significance of the partnership.
Medatek is an important player in smartphone SOCs, and with Nvidia aiming to expand arm -based chips for laptops and game devices, owning the company could give it both technology and supply chain expertise.
With an estimated valuation of $ 73 billion, it would not be cheap to acquire Mediatek, but Nvidia could certainly advice it in view of its rapid increase in market value.
For the moment, GB10 is a good example of what the two tech giants can achieve when they work together.
It combines 20 arm V9.2 CPU cores, blackwell-based graphics with 31 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and up to 128 GB of Unified LPDDR5X memory in a double-dielet package on the TSMCS N3 process.
Whether Nvidia would entertain Medatek, GB10 confirms that the two companies are already closely tied up in both technology and strategy.
