Smartphone chip maker warns of potentially losing billions of dollars in sales because of export limits. Qualcomm is lobbying the Trump administration of the United States, hoping to ship to Huawei to avoid the market from being carved up by Samsung and MediaTek...

MEDIATEK BEGINS 6G DEVELOPMENT – SEEMS THE FUTURE WILL ARRIVE EARLY. MEDIATEK HAS A 6G R&D TEAM IN FINLAND. MediaTek’s team in Finland is expected to become a key factor in its future terminal chip development.

MediaTek has officially introduced its latest chipset Helio M70, as promised earlier this month. It comes with 5G capabilities and is built on the 7nm process, and is also the first platform that includes ARM’s Cortex-A77 CPU and Mali-G77 GPU. The announcement was part of this year’s Computex, taking place in Taiwan.

According to reports from outside gsmarena, MediaTek will launch 5G chips later this month. Huawei, Samsung and Qualcomm have already launched a chipset that supports 5G, and the next one is MediaTek.

MediaTek will invest in the development of mmWave technology in the future, and it is expected to be applied to mobile terminal devices, but it will not invest in the development of small cell products. It believes that this segment is mainly established in service equipment vendors such as Huawei, Ericcson, and Nokia. The resources at hand.

Helio M70 supports key 5G technologies including standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) network architectures for faster connectivity. Lower latency and improved reference design deliver a high-speed network experience for the 5G era.

In the future, IoT and AI will be better integrated, which will trigger a new revolution. The FD-SOI optimized substrate will provide "energy" for the fusion of AI and IoT. It can improve energy efficiency and increase the effectiveness of the entire solution. FD-SOI is also of great significance for the implementation of 5G.

According to the Taiwan Economic Daily report, MediaTek first demonstrated the 5G prototype to the world yesterday, and used this big show to develop muscles. The market expects that MediaTek will produce chips as soon as possible by the end of 2019, and mass production of 5G chips in 2020 to welcome 5G business.

In order to occupy a favorable position in the next generation of ultra-high-capacity and low-latency 5G networks, manufacturers such as Samsung, Qualcomm and Huawei are accelerating the layout speed.

The Apple and Qualcomm lawsuits, which lasted more than a year, have not only failed to reconcile, but have even begun to affect the most basic cooperation between the two sides. Qualcomm has confirmed in the earnings conference that the new iPhone in 2018 will completely stop using Qualcomm baseband chips.
