Rumors that MediaTek is going to release a single-chip system with Nvidia GPUs have been confirmed. Today, Nvidia announced a partnership with MediaTek, which will create the agreed platform. True, not yet for smartphones. Companies have teamed up to create solutions for cars.

The combination of the industry-leading MediaTek system-on-a-chip, along with Nvidia GPU and AI software technologies, will deliver a new user experience, enhanced security, and new connected services for all vehicle segments, from luxury to entry-level

The document says that MediaTek will develop automotive SoCs with Nvidia GPUs. In addition, MediaTek will use Nvidia Drive OS, Drive IX, CUDA and TensorRT technologies in its platforms.

What characteristics the new platforms will have has not yet been reported. Also, the companies have not yet said anything about their cooperation extending to smartphone platforms, but initially there were rumors about this, so it may just have to wait.

The WhatsApp messenger development team has released update 2.23.11.19 for the Android operating system. It is already available to some beta testers through the Google Play Beta Program. The new version has the ability to share your screen with the interlocutor during a video call. To do this, you need to click on the new icon located in the call control window. In this case, everything that is displayed on the screen will be recorded and transferred to another user.

The transfer of screen contents during a video call will be continuous, but it can be interrupted at any time: the user retains full control, experts at the WABetaInfo resource say. And, of course, the broadcast will only start after the user agrees to share the screen.

Please note that the new feature may not be available on smartphones running older versions of the Android OS, or it may not work when calling in large groups. Also, the interlocutor may not accept the screen picture if he uses an outdated version of WhatsApp. While the ability to share the contents of your screen has become available only to some beta testers, it is expected that more users of the messenger will be able to evaluate it in the near future.

Nvidia has confirmed that its graphics accelerator, which it now calls Hopper Next, will be available next year.

Nvidia hasn’t released any details yet, though we’ve heard before that the company’s next generation of dedicated accelerators will be called Blackwell. There is also data on two GPUs of this generation: GB100 and GB102, which will be produced at 3 nm standards.

You can also see from Nvidia’s graph that the company expects a linear increase in performance relative to the current generation. That is, if we recall that the Nvidia A100 on the Ampere architecture offered a performance of about 20 TFLOPS, and the H100 already provides 60 TFLOPS, then the new solution can overcome the mark of 100 TFLOPS.
