MediaTek has adopted Cadence’s AI-driven Virtuoso® Studio and Spectre® X Simulator on NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform for its 2nm development, achieving a 30% productivity gain.

This adoption addresses the increasing complexity of advanced-node SoC design, leveraging AI-powered tools for improved performance and efficiency. MediaTek’s analog design and layout teams utilize Cadence’s automation features, Spectre X on NVIDIA H100 GPUs (delivering up to 6X simulation performance), and a customized workflow for further productivity gains. Both companies aim to drive innovation and meet aggressive performance, reliability, and time-to-market goals in the competitive tech landscape.

“As MediaTek continues to push technology boundaries for 2nm development, we need a trusted design solution with strong AI-powered tools to achieve our goals,” said Ching San Wu, corporate vice president at ĢƵ “Closely collaborating with Cadence, we have adopted the Cadence Virtuoso Studio and Spectre X Simulator, which deliver the performance and accuracy necessary to achieve our tight design turnaround time requirements. Cadence’s comprehensive automation features enhance our throughput and efficiency, enabling our designers to be 30% more productive.”
