| MediaTek has become the world's first in a mobile chip |
According to market research firm Counterpoint, MediaTek will become the global leader in smartphone chipsets in the third quarter of 2020 with a market share of 31%.
MediaTek's solid performance in the smartphone space ranges from $ 100 to $ 250. Growth in key regions such as China and India has helped the manufacturer become the largest seller of smartphone chips.
Meanwhile, Qualcomm is the largest manufacturer of 5G chipsets in the third quarter of 2020.
39% of 5G-enabled smartphones sold worldwide use Qualcomm chips.
In the third quarter of 2020, the demand for 5G smartphones doubled.
17% of all smartphones sold in the third quarter of 2020 are 5G phones.
A third of the smartphones expected to ship in the last quarter of 2020 will support the fifth generation.
Qualcomm still has a chance to take first place again in the fourth quarter of 2020.
The US ban on Huawei benefits other manufacturers such as Samsung and Xiaomi, as Xiaomi's share of MediaTek chips more than tripled in the same period last year.
MediaTek can also take advantage of the loophole the US ban has made on Huawei.
When they talk about Qualcomm and MediaTek's development strategies, they are re-adjusting their product mix, and consumer focus has played a major role here.
Last year, MediaTek launched a new G Series for stadium equipment. With Dimensity chipset, 5G was able to enter a lower price range.
Realme V3, the world's cheapest 5G support device, is powered by MediaTek.
The top priority for chip makers is to introduce 5G to the public and then deploy various use cases for 5G networks like cloud gaming, which leads to an increase in demand for faster GPUs and more powerful processors.
Qualcomm and MediaTek continue to fight for # 1.
