In recent years, the smartphone market has been predominantly dominated by two companies for how much they protect the graphics processing unit (GPU): Qualcomm and ARM. Tuttavia, a new competitor can make his own return on the mobile world: nvidia.
While the Nvidia GPU for PC desktop can be successful with success your smartphone through services like GeForce Now, MediaTek It could potentially hurt Nvidia in the real and proper mobile market.
Finora, excluding Apple and its proprietary solutions, the smartphone itself was affiliated mainly with Qualcomm-based GPUs, which acquired the ATI Radeon division in 2009 and created its Adreno GPU. The other main actor is ARM, the Mali division is born from the acquisition of Falanx in 2006.
It is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S22 series, which uses the Exynos 2200 SoC with AMD Xclipse 920 GPU, based on AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture, the same used in gaming consoles like PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X e Steam Deck. However, although the ability to ray-tracing hardware is not constant, the compatibility problem with the games on the Play Store is not very attractive.
MediaTek does typically support the ARM Mali GPU for its own SoC, but has in the past also experimented with Nvidia solutions. MediaTek has created the Kompanio chip series for the tablet and Chromebook marketand Nvidia has shown that its GeForce RTX GPU can work in tandem with the ARM CPU used by MediaTek.
As other important technological companies, Nvidia has had to face the difficult world of the global economy, with consequent heat from the guadagni and from the prices of the craft. As a result, the company has restructured its own company strategy. In this answer, a collaboration with MediaTek could become a strategic move per entrambe aziende. According to the return of the Nvidia Mobile GPU, potentially great in 2024, integrate in a future SoC MediaTek with high fascia, forse of the Dimensity 9xxx series.
I am concerned about the miniaturization effect of the powerful Ada Lovelace architecture for the non-smartphone use, since it originated from the most powerful GPU of the game. However, Nvidia can use the capacity of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve performance and overcome dimensional limits. This collaboration could also support MediaTek, helping it fill the gap with Qualcomm in terms of AI performance. Second indiscretionsthe partnership can be extended to Windows on ARM It will potentially enter the notebook industry, positioning Nvidia and MediaTek in direct competition with industry giants like Apple and Qualcomm.
The income of Nvidia in the smartphone market laugh at 2008 with the introduction of the Tegra chip line. Sebbene i chip Tegra abbiano avuto successo negli ultimi anni grazie all’integrazione nella populare console di gioco Nintendo Switch, sono estati initially inserted in smartphone like il Microsoft Kin e il Motorola Atrix più di 10 anni fa. Nvidia is note to have port on the market the first chip with dual-core CPU with the LG Optimus 2X and the first chip quad-core with the HTC One X and the LG Optimus 4X. Its chip is also used by tablets, including ASUS Transformer series, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Google Nexus devices and Microsoft Surface convertibles based on Windows RT. Tuttavia, negli ultimi anni, Nvidia ha spostato la sua attention de lontana dagli smartphone.
With the potential collaboration between Nvidia and MediaTek, 2024 will see the year of the return of Nvidia to the smartphone, supporting its powerful GPU in many mobile devices.
