In media, that phrase is commonly used to protect leakers from litigation, and given that there have also been reports that MediaTek has been working with Nvidia on a couple of projects, the information is likely to be accurate.<\/p>\n<p>So why is MediaTek doing this and why only now? In the case of the latter, it&apos;s because Qualcomm has enjoyed an exclusive deal as being the only vendor of chips to be supported by <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/arm\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Windows on Arm<\/a>, a version of Microsoft&apos;s operating system that isn&apos;t x86-based. The exact details of the deal aren&apos;t publicly known but it&apos;s generally believed that the contract will end this year, paving the way for other chip manufacturers to enter the market.<\/p>\n<p>Reuter&apos;s report states that MediaTek is taking a different approach to Qualcomm and rather than designing a bespoke CPU architecture based on the Arm instruction set, it&apos;s using Arm&apos;s standard layouts. In theory, that will make it cheaper and far quicker to produce, though it provides less scope for fine-tuning performance, power consumption, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>But as a cheaper alternative to Qualcomm&apos;s <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/the-full-snapdragon-x-cpu-line-up-has-now-been-unveiled-and-according-to-qualcomms-numbers-it-should-put-the-fear-of-arm-into-amd-and-intels-laptop-divisions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Snapdragon X<\/a> (which itself is <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/gaming-laptops\/leaked-dell-docs-suggest-qualcomms-new-laptop-chips-could-deliver-nearly-twice-the-battery-life-of-the-latest-intel-cpus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">much cheaper than chips from AMD and Intel<\/a>), MediaTek&apos;s processor could do wonders for the ultra-cheap laptop market. That&apos;s normally been the preserve of basic Chrome notebooks, which are fine for doing emails and light web browsing, but little else. Something with more poke would be welcome.<\/p>\n<p>One question all of this raises is does this mean <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/mediatek-and-nvidia-are-gearing-up-to-tackle-the-ai-pc-market-hand-in-hand-with-an-all-new-chip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MediaTek&apos;s collaboration with Nvidia<\/a> is over? We&apos;ve previously reported on the two companies working on a project to develop a laptop processor, so does Reuter&apos;s story mean that this is all over or is it referring to the same thing? And there&apos;s also the rumour that MediaTek and Nvidia are developing a chip for a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/handheld-gaming-pcs\/nvidia-could-be-teaming-up-with-mediatek-to-create-a-steam-deck-busting-handheld-gaming-chip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steam Deck-like device<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>All three things may be talking about the same processor\u2014a MediaTek-badged CPU, sporting an Nvidia GPU, with standard Arm CPU cores. Just as Qualcomm has done with Snapdragon X, the company could make several versions of the design, with the largest, most core-filled chip targeted at laptops and the smallest used in handhelds.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"RWEvHABzY3qDmeXns2wUX6\" name=\"qualcomm_snapdragon_x_laptop_computex_2024.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of a Qualcomm Snapdragon X laptop, on display at Computex 2024\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/mediatek-is-aiming-to-do-a-qualcomm-and-make-arm-chips-for-copilot-pcs-targeting-a-2025-release.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Arm-based Snapdragon X laptops handle x86 pretty well. <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>However, Reuters claims that two of its sources said that the project referred to in its story is separate from the one with Nvidia.
