Jan 7 (Reuters) - Nvidia  NVDA.O  Chief Executive Jensen
Huang on Tuesday said that MediaTek  2454.TW  will be able to
sell the desktop central processor chip that the two companies
unveiled earlier this week.
    On Monday at CES 2025, Nvidia unveiled a desktop computer
called Project DIGITS. The machine uses Nvidia's latest
'Blackwell' AI chip and will cost $3,000, but it also contains a
new central processor, or CPU, that Nvidia worked with MediaTek
to create.
    Responding to an analyst question during an investor
presentation, Huang said Nvidia tapped MediaTek 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.
