Rumor has it that the joint venture would focus on notebook SoCs with integrated Wi-Fi 6, 5G and high bandwidth wired controllers. AMD could also be looking to use MediaTek's custom ARM cores in combination with RDNA graphics for high-end notebook processors competing with Apple's M models.

MediaTek has never made a custom ARM core, not even semi-custom cores as the recent Qualcomm cores. They just use cores licensed straight from ARM.

Modified to reflect that MediaTek could make custom ARM cores in the future.
