Memory chip shortages are driving up prices and affecting supply chains across the consumer electronics market.
Qualcomm is helping address one of the auto industry's most pressing needs - scaling intelligent vehicle technology to meet growing consumer demand for vehicles that are automated, connected and highly personalised.
China has actually closed the model performance gap, and that means that the quality of the models coming from China are becoming at a neck and neck pace with the United States.
The ongoing memory chip shortage is about to lead to a drastic drop in smartphone shipments this year. According to the latest forecast from TrendForce, the market will see a 10% drop in global smartphone shipments, which would result in an estimated 1.135 billion units shipped for the calendar year. There is, however, an even worse turn of events, which could see the drop go as low as 15%, which TrendForce describes as the "Bear-case scenario".
MediaTek's share price has risen sharply in a short period of time, partly due to increasing attention to the company's role in Google's AI strategy. In two trading days, the share price rose by approximately 19 percent. This brought the Taiwanese chip designer to a new record high on the Taipei stock exchange. The jump in share price follows a period of sustained optimism among investors.
