Jan 7 (Reuters) - Nvidia ( NVDA ) Chief Executive Jensen

Huang said on Tuesday that MediaTek ( MDTTF ) will be able to

sell the desktop central processor chip the two companies

unveiled earlier this week and that Nvidia ( NVDA ) has undisclosed

future plans for the chip.

On Monday at CES 2025, Nvidia ( NVDA ) unveiled a desktop computer

called Project DIGITS. The machine uses Nvidia's ( NVDA ) latest

"Blackwell" AI chip and will cost $3,000, but it also contains a

new central processor, or CPU, on which Nvidia ( NVDA ) worked with

MediaTek ( MDTTF ) to create.

Responding to an analyst's question during an investor

presentation, Huang said Nvidia ( NVDA ) tapped MediaTek ( MDTTF ) to co-design an

energy-efficient CPU that could be sold more widely.

"Now they could provide that to us, and they could keep that

for themselves and serve the market. And so it was a great

win-win," Huang said.

Reuters has previously reported that Nvidia ( NVDA ) is working on a

CPU for personal computers that would challenge Intel ( INTC ),

Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ) and Qualcomm ( QCOM ), which

currently dominate the market for computers used by consumers

and businesses.

The Project DIGITS computer is not yet a mass-market device.

It runs a Linux-based operating system from Nvidia ( NVDA ) that is used

by AI developers, and Huang told analysts those developers are

Nvidia's ( NVDA ) target market with Project DIGITS.

But Huang said Nvidia ( NVDA ) has further plans for its desktop CPU

that he declined to disclose.

"What else can I do with it? I'm gonna have to wait to tell

you that," Huang said. "You know, obviously we have plans."
