MediaTek to Enter Arm-based Server Processor Market with TSMC's 3nm Process

TapTechNews July 15th news, the Taiwanese media 'Economic Daily' reported today that MediaTek will enter the Arm architecture server processor market and use TSMC's 3-nanometer process to create server-level CPUs and GPUs, striving for mass production in the second half of next year.

MediaTek has not responded to relevant rumors.

The Taiwanese media report pointed out that currently the AI server market is rising rapidly, among which high-end models will be equipped with high-performance AI chips from Nvidia, AMD, etc., while medium and low-end AI servers that do not require a large amount of inference computing will focus on high-energy-efficiency computing power.

MediaTek is also targeting the field of medium and low-end AI servers this time, aiming to get a share in the processor orders of cloud server manufacturers such as Microsoft, Google, and Meta by relying on the energy efficiency advantage of the Arm architecture.

TapTechNews found through inquiry that MediaTek is currently a member of the Arm TotalDesign comprehensive design ecological project and can quickly create a server CPU chip by relying on the package of IP provided by the Arm Neoverse computing subsystem platform.

It is reported that MediaTek plans to complete the tape-out of the server processor chip in the first half of 2025 and enter the stage of small-volume shipments in the second half of 2025, and increase the volume in 2026. Optimistically, MediaTek is expected to capture 5% of the market share in the server CPU field.
