Mystery Surrounds Nvidia's Plan For New Cpu Built With Mediatek

On Monday at CES 2025, Nvidia unveiled a desktop computer called Project Digits . The machine uses Nvidias latest Blackwell AI chip and will cost US3 000, but it also contains a new CPU on which Nvidia worked with MediaTek to create.

Responding to an analysts question during an investor presentation, Huang said Nvidia tapped MediaTek to co-design an energy-efficient CPU that could be sold more widely.

Now they could provide that to us, and they could keep that for themselves and serve the market. And so it was a great win-win, Huang said.

It has been reported previously that Nvidia was working on a CPU for PCs that would challenge Intel, AMD and Qualcomm, which dominate the market for computers used by consumers and businesses.
