The global chip shipment ranking was exposed: all major chip manufacturers in the world made a lot of money!

In terms of domestic chip import share, it reached 3trillion at the peak. Although it is still the highest import share at present, it has been well reduced to 2.4 trillion in 2020. The reduced share of 600billion also reflects the development of domestic chip industry chain to a certain extent. In terms of the demand for some medium and low-end chips, it has been able to achieve independent localization.

After the implementation of relevant restrictions, many domestic chip enterprises have been gradually forced to leave the international semiconductor industry chain. Huawei is the best example. After TSMC suspended cooperation, Huawei Hisilicon has also been limited. Because of this, domestic chip enterprises have gradually realized the importance of core technology autonomy, and more and more enterprises have participated in the research and development of semiconductor technology.

Affected by the domestic industrial level, at present, many enterprises have suspended the research and development of advanced technology, and are committed to the research and development of chips with mature technology. The chips used in an intelligent device are complex and diverse. In addition to the main CPU chips, there are also similar GPU, memory chip and memory chip. On the storage chip, domestic chip manufacturers have completed the counter attack, breaking the monopoly of Japanese and Korean enterprises.

As we all know, semiconductor chips have become the core of the development of the entire scientific and technological field. Nowadays, almost all the mobile phones, computers, tablets and other products we use need the support of chips, otherwise they can't be turned on; It can be said that chips are the "brain" of all electronic devices. With the increasing demand for chips in the whole market, all major chip manufacturers around the world have made a lot of money!

In the global semiconductor chip market, the strength of American enterprises is very strong, such as Qualcomm snapdragon chips, intel core chips and apple a series processor chips, which we are familiar with, are almost all from the United States; After so many years of development, American companies have almost accounted for more than half of the global high-end semiconductor chip market, which has also made Qualcomm, Intel and apple a lot of money; However, this does not mean that they have no competitors in the chip market. With the arrival of the chip ban, the global chip market has also undergone a major reshuffle. According to the third quarter global chip shipment ranking data released by the Market Research Institute counterpoint, Qualcomm only ranks second, Huawei hisilic ranks fifth, and Chinese brands occupy three seats!

China's MediaTek ranks first; No one expected that after many years, MediaTek could beat Qualcomm and return to the throne of No. 1 in global chip sales. It has to be said that MediaTek's strength is still relatively strong, and the reason why MediaTek can develop so fast is mainly due to the support of domestic Huawei, Xiaomi, oppo, vivo and other mobile phone brands; Previously, MediaTek's chips were abandoned by domestic mobile phones because of their low-end. For a time, Qualcomm's Xiaolong chips almost became the standard configuration of domestic mobile phone manufacturers. However, after Huawei was suppressed this time, domestic mobile phone manufacturers also realized the danger of relying on only one chip industry chain of Qualcomm, so many mobile phone manufacturers began to choose to build a second chip industry chain, MediaTek just released the powerful Tianji 1000 series chips, so it was supported by domestic mobile phone manufacturers!

Qualcomm, which has always been very strong, only ranked second this time. Qualcomm chips accounted for only 27% of the market share in the third quarter. Although Qualcomm is only ranked second, we can still see the strength of Qualcomm chips. Qualcomm's Xiaolong chips have always been a hot topic in the mobile phone market. Now Qualcomm will soon release a new generation of Xiaolong 8 series flagship chips, which will also regain some market share at that time; For Qualcomm, we should not only strengthen independent research and development, but also have a good relationship with domestic mobile phone manufacturers. Only in this way can we maintain our market share!

At present, the world's major memory chip suppliers are mainly concentrated in Japan and South Korea, with Samsung, SK Hynix and micron accounting for the largest market share respectively. These three enterprises account for more than 80% of the market share. For today's digital society, intelligent devices need to process more and more data, so the role of memory chips is no less than that of CPU chips. Previously, we had to rely on imports.

Recently, MediaTek has released a new flagship 5g mobile platform of Tianji 9000. As the first TSMC 4nm process chip, it has been widely concerned by the market with its many advanced features since its debut. It can be seen that MediaTek's flagship strategy has achieved initial results. In addition to the flagship winning a good reputation at the end of the year, the 2021 Q3 smart phone chip shipment report recently released by the well-known research institution counterpoint proves the king position of MediaTek in the field of mobile phone chips. For five consecutive quarters, it has ranked first in market share, and MediaTek's "chip brother" is well deserved.

Tianji 9000 is the first chip platform in the industry to adopt TSMC 4nm process and armv9 architecture, which reflects the advantages of MediaTek in the industrial chain. Through cooperation with arm, TSMC and other industrial partners, MediaTek is leading chip technology to the next stage of exploration.

This reelection also marks the achievement that MediaTek has become the world's top smartphone chip shipments for five consecutive quarters, reflecting the recognition and support of mobile phone manufacturers and consumers for the product power of the MediaTek platform. It is believed that with the landing and application of the new generation flagship 5g platform, MediaTek will continue its strong market performance and stabilize its position as the first in terms of shipment share.

The key reason why MediaTek can achieve such good results is that it has launched many excellent products. In the face of the differentiated market demand for smart phones, MediaTek closely follows the market trend and layouts diversified chip platform products. Its Tianji 5g mobile platform has basically achieved full coverage from entry-level to flagship mobile phones.

At the same time, MediaTek also timely launched the new model of Tianji 5g open architecture, seizing the market trend of differentiated flagship mobile phones. By providing open resources closer to the bottom, Tianji 5g open architecture allows terminal manufacturers to customize key features such as multimedia experience, AI processing, camera processing engine, etc., so that manufacturers can create distinctive mobile platforms according to different understandings of flagship products. At present, several platforms including Tianji 1200-max and Tianji 1200-ai have been launched, providing strong performance support for many popular mobile phones, including vivo X70 and oppo reno7 pro.
