MediaTek, a semiconductor giant known for powering devices across segments such as smartphones, TVs, IoT (internet of things) products and more has announced its recent collaboration with NVIDIA. At CES 2025, NVIDIA said that it is bringing the new NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip under Project DIGITS, which aims to provide users across the globe with the power of NVIDIA Grace Blackwell platform. Project DIGITS is NVIDIA's intiative to bring personal AI Supercomputer powered by NVIDIA GB10 for everyone. The new NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip will bring a petaflop of AI (artificial intelligence) computing, performance for prototyping, fine-tuning and running large AI models for the consumers.
NVIDIA wants users to get access to high-end computing so that they can develop and run inference on AI models on their own desktop, and then deploy them on data center infrastructure or accelerated cloud. This superchip from NVIDIA will run on an AI Supercomputer, enabling millions of developers, academia and data scientists to work without limitations. So where does MediaTek come in here? It's in the architecture of the chip.

With the supercomputers running NVIDIA GB10, developers can run up to 200 billion-parameter large language models (LLMs) to supercharge AI innovation. In addition, using NVIDIA ConnectX network, two project DIGITS AI Supercomputers can be linked to run up to 405 billion-parameter models.
Developers will be able to prototype AI on Project DIGITS and then later scale it on cloud and data center infrastructure using the Grace Blackwell architecture and the NVIDIA Enterprise software platform.
