NVIDIA has announced an exciting partnership with SoC manufacturer MediaTek. As part of the collaboration, NVIDIA plans to make its graphics technologies more affordable, so GeForce RTX systems will appear in notebooks and laptops running Chrome OS and Linux running ARM-based. Expansion into the ARM ecosystem was announced personally by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang at the GPU Technology Conference.
Huang noted that future ARM solutions from MediaTek, co-developed with NVIDIA, will be compatible with the GeForce RTX 3000 series graphics. It is worth noting that these are professional GPUs based on the high-performance Ampere architecture with hardware support for ray tracing technology, which today are equipped with most flagship gaming computers. Optional NVIDIA and MediaTek
will create an SDK for Chromium (Chrome OS) and Linux.
While NVIDIA hasn’t announced the partnership any more details, MediaTek processors combined with GeForce RTX graphics have the potential to “restart” not only the PC market – in the future, this could affect both Windows on ARM and smartphones with tablets. It is possible that more creative apps and games will start appearing on the market on more devices, operating systems and form factors. The situation with Windows PCs on ARM is also about to change dramatically.
It is still unknown when the first commercial products with joint technologies from NVIDIA and MediaTek will appear. Meanwhile, rival AMD is also rumored to be preparing for a similar expansion. Insiders claim AMD is partnering with Samsung to bring Radeon proprietary graphics technology to the ARM architecture using Exynos processors. RDNA mobile graphics are expected to debut in 2021 in one of the following Samsung products.
