Global GPU leader NVIDIA is collaborating with MediaTek to develop high-performance APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), which is planned to be launched as early as early 2026, in partnership with Dell’s gaming brand Alienware to introduce new machines.

If this collaboration materializes, it will break AMD’s monopoly in the APU field and reshape the competitive landscape of the gaming laptop market.

The collaboration between NVIDIA and MediaTek focuses on the deep integration of heterogeneous computing. The APU will adopt NVIDIA’s latest Blackwell architecture GPU module (speculated to be a simplified version of GB206 or GB207) and integrate MediaTek’s customized Arm architecture CPU cores.

The Blackwell architecture is based on TSMC’s 4nm process, with its third-generation RT Core (Ray Tracing Core) and fourth-generation Tensor Core (dedicated hardware unit) achieving breakthroughs of 2x ray tracing performance improvement and 4x AI inference speed enhancement.

Taking GB206 as an example, it is equipped with 36 SMs (Streaming Multiprocessors), 4608 CUDA cores, paired with 128-bit GDDR7 memory, with overall performance expected to be close to the 65W version of the RTX 4070 mobile graphics card, significantly surpassing the existing mobile APU graphics performance.

The new generation CPU core after MediaTek’s Cortex-X925 (similar to the Dimensity 9500 architecture) can provide efficient multitasking capabilities, and after collaborative optimization with the GPU, the overall energy efficiency ratio is improved by about 30%.

By sharing the power supply system and collaborative thermal design, the thermal design power (TDP) of the APU is controlled around 65W, reducing power consumption by about 30% compared to traditional “CPU + discrete GPU” solutions.

MediaTek’s energy efficiency management technology accumulated in the mobile processor field (such as Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling) combined with NVIDIA’s DLSS 3.5 super-resolution technology can ensure high performance while extending battery life.

TSMC’s CoWoS advanced packaging technology is used to achieve high-density integration between chips.

TSMC plans to increase CoWoS monthly production capacity to 75,000-80,000 wafers by the end of 2025, with CoWoS-S and CoWoS-L exceeding 20,000 and 45,000 wafers respectively, providing capacity assurance for the mass production of APU.

This packaging technology not only avoids the signal delay issues of traditional multi-chip packaging but also supports future upgrades to HBM4 high-bandwidth memory (expected to be launched in 2026), with data transfer rates reaching 8.0Gbps+.

The strategic intent of this collaboration directly targets two major market opportunities.

First, the performance innovation of gaming laptops.

Currently, the gaming laptop market is dominated by the “discrete graphics card + CPU” mainstream configuration, but the heavy cooling modules and high power consumption limit portability.

The APU solution from NVIDIA and MediaTek, through integrated design, is expected to reduce the thickness of the body by 15%-20% while maintaining performance, meeting users’ demand for “lightweight gaming.”
According to IDC statistics, the global gaming laptop shipment is expected to grow by 9% year-on-year in 2024, with the Chinese market’s shipment expected to reach 9.2 million units by 2028, representing a compound annual growth rate of 4.2%, which provides ample space for high-performance APU.

Market news indicates that Dell’s Alienware new machine may adopt “liquid metal cooling” technology, achieving performance close to a 120W discrete graphics card under a 65W TDP.

Secondly, the computing power upgrade of AI PCs.

With the popularity of generative AI applications, user demand for local computing power has surged.

The integrated NPU (Neural Processing Unit) in this APU can support tasks such as real-time voice recognition and image generation. The new machine in collaboration with Dell’s Alienware may come pre-installed with NVIDIA’s AI development toolkit, aiming to capture the enterprise-level AI PC market.

According to a Canalys report, global AI PC shipments are expected to exceed 103 million units by 2025, accounting for 40% of total PC shipments, making this field a new battleground for tech giants.

Of course, the collaboration between NVIDIA and MediaTek will also impact the existing market landscape.

Firstly, it will affect AMD’s market share. AMD’s Ryzen APU, with its “Zen CPU + RDNA GPU” combination, holds an advantage in the thin and light laptop market.

AMD’s latest Strix Halo APU integrated graphics performance is already close to RTX 3080, and it further optimizes energy efficiency through FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) technology.

Additionally, AMD’s collaboration with TSMC on 3nm process technology (such as the Instinct MI355X accelerator) may strengthen its position in the high-performance computing field.

Secondly, Intel will also be impacted by this collaboration. Currently, Intel is accelerating the advancement of “Intel 4” process and Arc graphics card technology, with its Meteor Lake processors achieving integration of CPU, GPU, and NPU through Foveros packaging.

At the same time, Intel’s AI PC ecosystem in collaboration with Microsoft (such as Windows Copilot) may compensate for hardware performance gaps through software optimization.

It is worth noting that Intel plans to use TSMC’s 3nm process for its Falcon Shores AI chip, which may directly target NVIDIA’s APU layout.

The collaboration between NVIDIA and MediaTek marks the entry of APU technology into the “high-performance era.”

Product forms may see technological innovations not seen in years. Thin and light gaming laptops may become mainstream, and traditional gaming laptop manufacturers will need to redesign cooling modules and industrial designs. Dell’s Alienware new machine may adopt “fanless” or “liquid metal cooling” technology, further reducing the size of the device.

Industry standards will also be restructured. The popularity of APU may promote the application of open standards such as UCIe (Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express), facilitating interoperability of chips from different manufacturers
NVIDIA’s recently launched NVLink Fusion technology has provided a technical foundation for cross-vendor hardware collaboration.

With changes in product forms and industry standards, market competition will also intensify. AMD may accelerate the integration of the Zen 5 architecture with RDNA 4 GPUs, and Intel may increase its investment in Arc graphics cards. Will Qualcomm, Apple, and other manufacturers be eager to join the PC APU competition?

In any case, this technological race will ultimately benefit consumers, driving gaming laptops towards higher performance and lower power consumption.

The APU collaboration between NVIDIA and MediaTek is an important milestone in the semiconductor industry’s trend of “heterogeneous computing.” This technological breakthrough, market positioning, and impact on the industry chain are all worth close attention

A California lawmaker is making another effort to regulate artificial intelligence in the state after legislation that would have held large companies liable for harm caused by their technology was vetoed last year by Governor Gavin Newsom.

State Senator Scott Wiener, a San Francisco Democrat, has introduced a bill that would require companies developing AI models above a certain computing performance threshold to publicly release safety and security protocols that assess the potential catastrophic risks to humanity from the technology. Under the law, AI companies also would need to report any “critical safety incidents,” such as theft of sensitive technical details, to the state attorney general. Companies that may be affected by the proposed legislation include OpenAI, Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Anthropic.

The World’s Most Sophisticated AI Fitness Coach Arrives in Your Home

Open the amp app and, after completing a brief questionnaire paired with a camera–guided movement screening, the world’s most advanced AI Coach takes over to create hyper-personalized workout plans that respect every aspect of your performance. The routine accounts for your goals, injury history, and current fitness level through the most fine-tuned AI fitness technology on the market. What used to require multiple trainer consultations now happens in minutes through amp’s revolutionary AI avatar, proving that AI-powered workouts have made the leap from science fiction to everyday life.

Why amp’s AI-Generated Workout Plans Leave Traditional Fitness Behind

Personalization powered by your data

Classic training plans assume every Tuesday feels identical, but amp knows that life rarely cooperates. The smart workout AI notices when speed stays crisp, nudges resistance up, and automatically eases load after a restless night. Unlike other AI fitness apps that rely on broad categories, amp’s smart AI uses your specific fitness data to create uniquely tailored sessions that no other solution can match.

Coaching that evolves daily

Goals change—marathon seasons end, and new jobs begin. The AI-generated workout plan considers factors like your sleep patterns (through Apple Health integration), recent workout intensity, and even the time of day you prefer to train. amp creates tomorrow’s session based on today’s performance, keeping progress a dynamic dialogue rather than a plan that is set in stone and doesn’t account for daily life.

Celebrity expertise, tailored to you

Guidance from Terry Crews, Kinga Strogoff, and Chris Heria arrives exactly when form-saving cues matter. The result feels like having a celebrity trainer who also happens to know your exact strength levels, mobility limitations, and schedule constraints. The AI-generated workout plan maintains the motivational energy and technical precision, turning elite advice into a first-of-its-kind feedback loop.

Hardware That Thinks with You

The amp device works differently from traditional strength training equipment. Instead of static weight plates, you can choose from smart resistance modes that adjust the feel of each exercise at the turn of a dial.

Band mode creates progressive tension that builds as you move—like resistance bands, but with unmatched digital control. Eccentric mode adds resistance during the lowering phase, allowing muscles to handle a greater load. Fixed mode delivers a consistent challenge throughout the full range of motion.

This responsive approach means your AI-generated workout plan can optimize how each exercise challenges your muscles based on the training goal, not just which exercises you do.

The system tracks form automatically using your phone’s camera. Complete three clean reps at your current weight, and it will recognize that you’re ready for progression. Form starts to break down, and it suggests stepping back before fatigue compromises your movement quality.

amp Tracks Everything You Want and Nothing That You Don’t

Most fitness apps overwhelm you with data. amp’s AI-generated workout plan surfaces insights that drive real improvement. You’ll learn that Tuesday mornings are your strongest training days, that your squat depth improved 15% this month, or that workout consistency correlates with your sleep quality.

These patterns inform future sessions, creating smarter recommendations over time. The system learns not just how you move, but when you move best and what keeps you coming back consistently.

amp

amp Is Leading the AI Fitness Revolution Ahead

amp’s technology represents a fundamental shift from generic programming to what will become the most advanced personalized training available. The development roadmap points toward AI fitness avatars that double as personal coaches and accountability partners, feeding you feedback in real-time based on performance and taking the guesswork out of your workout routine.

The avatar approach solves the fundamental problem with traditional fitness: programs designed for average people don’t work for real people, but amp’s AI coach will understand that your Tuesday morning energy differs from your Friday evening state, and build workouts accordingly.

The future of fitness is to make elite expertise infinitely more accessible and adaptable to people’s actual lives.
