MediaTek is now largest Smartphone SoC maker: CEO

Beijing: Taiwanese chipmaking giant MediaTek has finally become the largest smartphone SoC maker this year globally, CEO Rick Tsai said.

Tsai made that statement in a recent investor conference in Taiwan, GizmoChina reported on Friday.

“We are now the largest smartphone SoC maker globally. We continue to gain share across all regions of the world,” the CEO said.

The company appears to have seen great growth, which has enabled it to expand outside of its previous dependence on Chinese customers. The CEO added that the brand’s Android smartphone market share in North America alone will cross 25 per cent this year.
