MediaTek (MediaTek) has performed very well recently. According to statistics from market research agencies, it gained 43% of the global smartphone SoC market share in the second quarter of 2021, compared with 35% in the first quarter. Large growth, overwhelming competitors Qualcomm . In addition, during the GTC 2021 keynote speech, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced a partnership with MediaTek. MediaTek will be licensed by GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs to apply Ampere architecture graphics cards to MT819x SoC.

MediaTek has been expanding its business territory recently and has joined hands with AMD. According to ComputerBase, MediaTek is AMD’s preferred partner for modem on future SoCs, and the two parties have also discussed the possibility of establishing a joint venture, but there are no more details for the time being. Since MediaTek and AMD have relatively little overlap in business, they may have complementary effects. AMD also hopes to expand its influence in the mobile market in this way.

In fact, AMD has already cooperated with MediaTek, but the scale is relatively small for the time being. Previous reports stated that AMD developed a Wi-Fi chip called AMD RZ608, which is actually MediaTek’s MT7921K. AMD hopes to use this as a basis to provide SoC 5G solutions for mobile platforms in the future. AMD has mainly cooperated with Qualcomm in the past. In terms of communication technology, Qualcomm is in a leading position in this field. In contrast, AMD's cooperation with MediaTek may focus on the entry-level market.

AMD is also cooperating with Samsung in the mobile market to provide mRDNA architecture GPUs for the Exynos series of products. The first batch of devices is expected to be unveiled in early 2022.
