NVIDIA and MediaTek are teaming up to create a new SOC (System on a Chip) that is set to revolutionize the portable gaming console market.
The new chip is based on TSMC's 3nm process technology and will be ready for mass production in the first half of 2025. It will be different from NVIDIA's existing semi-custom solutions, and that several Chinese customers have already expressed interest. This could mark NVIDIA's return to the console market. The company already has some experience in this area thanks to the Nintendo Switch and Shield platforms.
The companies could join forces to create a portable gaming console. NVIDIA already has the GeForce Now platform, which allows you to stream games to mobile devices. A partnership with MediaTek could lead to the creation of a dedicated gaming device that will surpass the performance and functionality of smartphones or tablets.
NVIDIA's graphics and AI innovations, along with mobile processor specialist MediaTek, could create a powerful combination that will redefine portable gaming.
