Due to a shortage of Qualcomm processors
–
Qualcomm has confirmed the big problem it is facing with the processor shortage And till Samsung has confirmed that it will be affected. This would force OPPO and Xiaomi to look for an alternative to Mediatek.
Qualcomm processors are very famous and used by many manufacturers of various devices, but they are not the only ones. The great demand they have has made it not possible to comply in time and is partly due to the pandemic. Against this background, manufacturers have to look for alternatives so as not to delay their new product launches. Mediatek is reported to be the solution, at least for smartphone OEMs.
It has been reported that Xiaomi and OPPO have changed providers due to this circumstance. In the case of Xiaomi, it would have reduced the orders made to Qualcomm to 55%, passing part of these to MediaTek, so in theory, some models expected with the Snapdragon 888 would use the Dimensity 1000 series chips, belonging to the high-end and from the second quarter, those of the series Dimensity 2000. Without a doubt, it is an opportunity that the Taiwanese manufacturer cannot let go of.
