Recently, MediaTek officially released the flagship mobile platform of Tianji 9000 and announced a series of blockbuster news. In 2021, MediaTek's cumulative revenue is expected to reach US$17 billion (about 108.2 billion yuan), an increase of 50% year-on-year. Moreover, MediaTek has become the world's largest supplier of smartphone chip shipments for 6 consecutive quarters, with a global market share of 40%.
MediaTek released a 4nm chip to compete with Qualcomm
On December 16, following the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1, MediaTek also released its flagship chip, the Tianji 9000.
In terms of configuration, snapdragon 8 Gen1 and Tianji 9000 both use 4nm process and three-cluster architecture scheme, and are equipped with a 3.0GHz X2 large core, but Tianji 9000 is more obvious in terms of memory support, and Qualcomm's Adreno 730 GPU is better than Tianji 9000 in terms of performance.
In the choice of new technologies, the strategies of both sides also have their own emphases, MediaTek's Tianji 9000 has not yet been equipped with millimeter wave, the price will be more advantageous; Qualcomm's flagship chip has both millimeter wave, Sub-6 GHz frequency band, its advantage is that it is more closely coordinated with mobile phone manufacturers.
However, although the process is 4nm, the Tianji 9000 is foundry by TSMC, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 cooperates with Samsung. "Unlike the general perception of the outside world, Samsung Process has actually improved rapidly in recent years, and the gap with TSMC has been very small." However, in terms of yield, power consumption, heat generation and other aspects, TSMC's performance is indeed better. Mobile phone industry analyst Yuan Ke said.
In fact, Samsung has always wanted to close the gap with TSMC's foundry level, and the gap is mainly due to the maturity of key process processes. At present, Samsung officially announced that it will establish a chip production base in Texas, USA, costing $17 billion and putting into production as soon as 2024.
After the official announcement of MediaTek, Xiaomi OV made a statement one after another
Huawei HiSilicon chip orders are TSMC FOUNDRY manufacturing, TSMC can not freely ship, Huawei HiSilicon chip became one less, the result of hiSilicon chip market share began to gradually decline.
Despite this, the market share lost by Huawei HiSilicon chips has not been taken away by Qualcomm, and most of them have been taken away by MediaTek, especially after MediaTek launched the Tianji series of 5G chips, its chip market share has risen continuously.
For example, in 2020, domestic manufacturers such as Xiaomi OV will use a large number of Tianji series chips to create 5G mobile phones.
Especially in the high-end market, Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 series and 6 series chips are no longer popular, and Tianji 800, Tianji 700 and Tianji 1000 series have become fragrant.
A few days ago, MediaTek officially released the Flagship Chip of Tianji 9000 and released the latest data.
It is reported that mediatek's market share of 4G+5G chips is as high as 40%, which is not only the first in China, but also the first in the world.
This is also the sixth consecutive month that MediaTek has surpassed Qualcomm to become the world's largest mobile phone chip manufacturer, achieving revenue of more than 100 billion yuan in the first 11 months. This means that Huawei HiSilicon has won the first place in China with another domestic chip.
Xiaomi OV expressed its support for MediaTek's flagship chip, foreign media: Qualcomm five flavors miscellaneous
MediaTek successfully occupied the mid-to-high-end market with the Tianji series of chips, and it launched the Tianji 9000 chip flagship chip, with the goal of standing firm in the high-end market and competing with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series.
However, after the release of the MediaTek Tianji 9000 chip, domestic manufacturers such as Xiaomi OV have expressed their support.
Among them, the Redmi K50 series will be the first model equipped with Tianji 9000 chip, and VIVO has also clearly stated that it will build a new machine based on Tianji 9000 chip.
OPPO is even more officially announced, OPPO Find X series will debut The First Tianji 9000 chip. That is to say, in high-end models, Xiaomi OV is clear to use MediaTek Tianji 9000 chips to support MediaTek, which makes Qualcomm five flavors and miscellaneous.
