MediaTek’s AI ambitions are expanding far beyond chip design.
As Google ramps up its TPU efforts, MediaTek is quietly moving to secure one of the AI industry’s most overlooked strategic resources: T-Glass supply for advanced substrates and CoWoS packaging.
Behind the scenes, the next AI bottleneck may no longer be GPUs or HBM — but the materials needed to assemble the final package.
This story explores why MediaTek is locking in T-Glass capacity, how AI packaging constraints are intensifying, and why the Google TPU opportunity could become both a breakthrough moment and a long-term strategic risk for the Taiwanese chipmaker.
