MediaTek has showcased its latest innovations in chip production at the ongoing Computex 2025 in Taiwan. The company teased the release of the world’s first consumer-grade 2nm processor, which TSMC will manufacture. The chipmaker also announced a new partnership with Nvidia to support NVLink Technology. Here are the top highlights from MediaTek at Computex 2025.
MediaTek’s 2nm Chip
MediaTek CEO Rick Tsai announced the company’s first-ever 2nm processor and confirmed that it will be available in September 2025. While he did not reveal any technical details of the chip, Rick revealed that the chip will be produced by TSMC.
The company is claiming a 15% increase in performance and 25% less power consumption on its 2nm chips, compared to last-gen 3nm processors. Currently, the Dimensity 9400+ is MediaTek’s top-end processor based on TSMC’s 3nm architecture, and it is highly likely that the said 2nm chip is its successor.
MediaTek also mentions that its upcoming processors will integrate advanced AI capabilities in networking. There were also mentions of 6G wireless technologies, but there are no exact details available at the moment.
The chipmaker is also expanding its AI capabilities on mobile processors. MediaTek chips currently support 540 AI models, of which 240 are optimised to run on mobile platforms. The company is also planning to introduce real-time image recognition and powerful image processing tools backed by Generative AI in its upcoming processors.
2nm vs 3nm: What’s the Difference?
MediaTek’s latest flagship processor, the Dimensity 9400+ is based on TSMC’s 3nm architecture, which is the same used by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite and Apple’s A18 Pro chipsets. The new 2nm technology will shrink the size of the transistors by up to 33%, which will improve the efficiency of the processor.
In semiconductors, the power consumption of a chip decreases when he transistor size is reduced. This helps the processor to achieve faster clock speeds, better stability, and higher performance. The same upgrades were noticed when MediaTek shifted from 4nm on the Dimensity 9300, to 3nm on the Dimensity 9400, recording performance upgrades as high as 50% in gaming.
The jump from 3nm to 2nm is expected to introduce similar upgrades. For now, MediaTek has mentioned a 15% increase in performance and 25% better power efficiency, but we may also see witness better numbers during the actual launch.
MediaTek’s New Partnership with Nvidia
MediaTek has also announced a new historic partnership with Nvidia to become one of the first players to support NVLink Fusion Technology. This technology is a modular architecture system that allows multiple GPUs on the same rack to share resources. It can also be transformed to unify CPU utilization across the same system.
This helps increase the output efficiency of a system running multiple CPU and GPU units, as it squeezes the maximum performance from each module. It also improves server stability.
The collaboration also extends to the DGX Spark AI Supercomputer. It is powered by the Nvidia GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, which was co-developed by MediaTek and Nvidia. This supercomputer will deliver top-end performance for scientists, researchers, and software developers’ high-intensity workloads.
