Where MediaTek sits in the stack
MediaTek's placements in this catalog cover 2 parts, all in layer 1, compute silicon & packaging. None of them currently carries a sourced supply constraint tag. Across these parts it overlaps with other companies most often on the lines below.
What these parts are
- Hyperscaler custom ASICs — AI accelerator chips (often called XPUs) designed in-house by a hyperscaler for its own fleet, typically co-developed with an outside ASIC design partner and fabbed by a merchant foundry.
- ASIC design services, IP & EDA — Outside firms and licensors — design-services houses, IP blocks, and EDA software — that hyperscalers and accelerator startups use to turn a chip specification into a manufacturable design.
