MediaTek announced Tuesday that it will launch its 2nm chip. The company’s Vice Chairman and CEO Rick Tsai confirmed the September tape out of the first 2nm-processed chip in September during his keynote speech at COMPUTEX 2025 in Taipei, Taiwan.

“More importantly, we are now moving into two nanometer. We will be taping out our first two nanometer device in September. Of course, this is will be a high-volume chip,” said Tsai.

Tsai said the new chipset will come with advanced AI capabilities with support for 6G next-generation network technology.

The 2nm chipset, which Tsai said a “smarter silicon for a smarter world”, will come with 15 percent higher performance and 25 percent lower power consumption than its predecessor.

Propels AI Grit

Tsai also said the company is further enhancing its AI foray by strengthening its partnerships with a global community of AI developers. In fact, he said they have already integrated 540 AI models into edge devices to over 240 mobile platforms.

In addition, MediaTek also highlighted in its keynote its special partnership with NVIDIA. Specifically, on the DGX Spark, a personal AI supercomputer powered by the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip which was developed both by NVIDIA and MediaTek.

 This partnership has led to the creation of the world’s smallest AI supercomputer for cloud developers, delivering an unprecedented 1000 TOPS performance. DGX Spark is designed to run AI models with up to 200 billion parameters locally, bringing the power of NVIDIA AI directly to the desktop.

MediaTek’s custom ASIC solutions are tailored for AI accelerators and datacenters, addressing the evolving complexities of dense compute and high-speed networking in custom silicon design. It offers world-class roadmap includes advanced solutions utilizing cutting edge process nodes and high-speed interconnects to meet demanding AI networking speeds, along with adopting modern packaging and custom HBM integrations.

Other Annoucements

MediaTek also highlighted at COMPUTEX 2025 its Dimensity Auto platform, which continues to push innovation forward in smart, connected, software-defined vehicles. The Dimensity Auto Cockpit solutions offer scalable hardware and software platforms with advanced AI capabilities. Its flagship Dimensity Auto Cockpit C-X1 chipset integrates the latest generative AI models with AI acoustic technologies for personalized virtual assistant service. The Dimensity Auto Cockpit platform also supports 8K and Dolby Vision HDR, alongside Dolby Atmos, for a truly exceptional in-vehicle entertainment experience.

MediaTek chips have been integrated in many devices. Tsai said over the years, their chips are in almost 20 billion devices.
