Since the beginning of the 5G era, MediaTek has gradually shaken off the impression of "low-end chipset supplier" in everyone's mind. Chip market data in the fourth quarter of 2021 shows that MediaTek ranks first in the world with a share of 33%, which shows that the era of "Fa Ge" has come; according to the latest data released by IDC, MediaTek's share of the US market in the fourth quarter of last year reached 51%, while Qualcomm was 47%, that is, MediaTek became the first chip supplier in the United States.
In the third quarter of 2021, MediaTek still had only 41% of the market share, and achieved a rebound in only one quarter, mainly because the Star Galaxy A12, Galaxy A32 and Motorola G Pure were selling well in the US market. It can be seen that although MediaTek's popularity in the US market is still not very high, with the help of the Tianji 9000 flagship and the Tianji 8000 / 8100 high-end SoC, this situation is changing.
Entering the 5G era, MediaTek's influence in the chip market can be described as increasing day by day, and its share is gradually rising, in fact, MediaTek has been sitting in the first position of chip sales for six consecutive quarters. It is not difficult to foresee that in the first quarter of 2022, driven by the Tianji 9000 chip, MediaTek's sales will continue to grow.
What exactly did MediaTek rely on to achieve a counterattack? The answer given by the author is: cost performance and rich product system. As we all know, MediaTek's chips are very affordable, and the stock is very sufficient, and it is backed by TSMC, and it is also trustworthy in terms of chip yield, just like last year,the global market was plunged into a chip crisis, but MediaTek was not greatly affected.
MediaTek's chip products cover all price segments, have cost performance as a prerequisite, and many manufacturers are willing to use its products. After entering the 5G era, MediaTek launched a number of 5G chips that cater to the 5G mobile phone market, such as the flagship chips of Tianji 1100, Tianji 1000 and Tianji 1200 in the high-end market, as well as a series of products such as Tianji 800 and Tianji 900 in the low-end market, and the mobile phones equipped with these chips are also selling well. Models like real me GT Neo Flash Edition (Tianji 1200), Redmi Note 11 Pro+ (Tianji 1200), iQOO Z5x (Tianji 900), and Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition (Tianji 1200) are all popular at the same price.
In 2022, MediaTek's play style is even more aggressive, following the launch of the Tianji 9000 high-end flagship chip, and recently released the Tianji 8000 series. The series includes two chips, Tianji 8000 and Tianji 8100, positioning light flagships and directly card slots for the product camp of friends. Take Tianji 8100, it is said to have the strong performance of Snapdragon 888, but also has the same power consumption level as Snapdragon 870, and after a number of blogger reviews, Tianji 8100 can be easily controlled whether it is the king or eat chicken, and more netizens said that Tianji 8100 is likely to become a new generation of gods this year.
After the official announcement of tianji 810, many Android manufacturers have said that they will launch a new machine equipped with the processor in the near future. It is not difficult to imagine that with the help of the combination of Tianji 9000 plus Tianji 8000 series, the sales and market share of MediaTek chips will also rise.
