For over two decades, MediaTek has been the go-to for mobile processors across various gadgets. Meanwhile, Nvidia has dominated with its top-notch GeForce hardware, though lately, it’s been diving deep into AI.

Both companies bring serious skills to the table. MediaTek’s forte lies in affordable System on Chips (SoCs), while Nvidia shines in graphics and AI.

According to industry insiders, MediaTek is leveraging its expertise to develop a gaming chip, with Nvidia lending its prowess to enhance graphics performance significantly.

Nvidia’s involvement in handheld gaming is not new. The company previously ventured into this space with the Tegra-powered Shield console and played a pivotal role in powering the immensely popular Nintendo Switch.
