The furniture market, like the car industry, is severely affected by the global crisis of chips, processors, transistors. But the money giants have found solutions to this disaster, by producing their own processing solutions. Apple has started this trend, but Oppo is lagging behind.
Right now, Oppo is the fourth largest smartphone maker in the world, after Samsung, Xiaomi and Apple, not necessarily in that order. In order to maintain their position in the market and, possibly, to increase further, Oppo’s people are trying their best not to be affected by the global chip crisis. In this regard, the company announced that it will “steal” a page from the Apple manual.
Oppo is following in Apple’s footsteps
As early as a few years ago, Apple began to break away from the processor industry and create its own chips to use in the company’s smartphones. Last year, they expanded this practice to include processors for iMac, MacBook and Mac mini systems. In the context of those Macs being some of the fastest computers in the world, it is clear that the mechanism works.
Starting from that reality, those from Oppo announced that they want to develop their own processors, and if all goes well, we should see them in the company’s top smartphones in 2023 and 2024. Among the arguments behind this decision are gaining independence from US suppliers and Last but not least, the idea of avoiding the consequences of the US-China economic conflict. Huawei knows best what it means to fall in the middle.
Apparently, exactly the experience or drama of Huawei significantly influenced this fabulous investment in its own chip production. As a reference, Oppo currently buys processors from Qualcomm and MediaTek, like most of the industry. In the near future, it will make the transition to 3-nanometer chips from TSMC, such as Apple or Intel.
