TamilMediaTek leads smartphone chip shipments in Q3
17 December 2021, 12:11 pm
Qualcomm’s smartphone SoC shipments grew both QoQ and YoY in Q3 2021.
Global smartphone SoC (system on chip) shipments grew 6 per cent year-on-year in Q3 2021 and MediaTek has emerged as the leader with a 40 per cent share driven by a competitive 5G SoC as well as high demand for the 4G SoC, a new report revealed on Thursday.
According to Counterpoint, MediaTek’s revenues grew sequentially as the mix of the mid-end and high-end SoC portfolios grew. The blended ASP will continue to increase due to the launch of flagship products in Q1 2022 and an increase in chipset prices starting Q4 2021.
4G chipsets continued to be in strong demand due to the ongoing shortages, which have affected 4G SoCs more.
Qualcomm grew 9 per cent sequentially due to dual sourcing from foundries. It dominated the 5G baseband modem shipments with a 62 per cent share. The refreshed portfolio in the Snapdragon 7, 6 and 4 series will further help it gain share in Q4 2021.
