MediaTek overtakes Qualcomm as No. 1 in China's smartphone processor market.My dude.. I play options on semi stocks in the stock market because it's my favorite sector. You literally have no idea what you're talking about. Sony makes the best sensors and cameras. ARM(which was just acquired by nVidia) designs all the mobile chips. Literally.. every smartphone that's made since 2007 till now uses an ARM design, even the chips that are made in China. Huawei's(China's) most powerful mobile processor, Kirin, still isn't competitive with Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors. That's why the ALL the Chinese flagship phones use Qualcomm SoCs. Now let's look at Apple, whose A series chips has been shytting on Qualcomm every year for the past decade and it's not even close. Apple can literally use their 2020 chip in 2022 and still be competitive with whatever Qualcomm releases, so by default will still be better that what China as to offer. Apple, again, just revolutionized what the industry thought was possible from a passively cooled chip with the M1, moving the bar higher again... I mean c'mon man.. remember what I said about innovating vs copying? The first 90% is easy if the path is already walked.
You're losing credibility with statements like this.
Xiaomi, Huwaei, and Oppo are going after developing countries and they still have to compete with Korean manufactures in that space.. When China and India got 40% of the world's population it's just a numbers game.. As I alluded to in my previous post.. the margins are too small for Apple and to care about. It's a race to the bottom, just like $50 tablets and $200 laptops. Apple is taking home 66+% of the total profit of the WHOLE smartphone market. If 20 people have a combined wealth of $100, and 100 people have a combined wealth of $20, which market has the potential for more profit? A single company where the entry level model begins at $399... they don't sell $99 devices. They chose not to compete in that space, they weren't forced into that space to survive. The operating system all these Chinese phones run on was built and is still being maintained by Google. If you still don't get why China isn't #1 in tech then I don't know what to tell you my dude.
These aren't numbers or stats I'm pulling out my ass because I feel some type of way.. these are facts.
I showed you why Xi needs move on Taiwan if he doesn't want that $450B he greenlighted to push China to lead the world in tech by the end of this decade to burn.. The problem is, you don't understand that space so can't grasp how much of a significant roadblock it is to China's goal, why it needs to happen, and why the US would tap them on the knuckle if Xi felt brave enough. It's nothing like the HK situation. You think I'm just another dumb American talking out my ass because of entitled American arrogance. You'll understand with time though.
Deepmind says hi. I mean.. do you understand that Waymo by itself has the potential to become larger than Google? Do you understand how much of a steal Jeff got by purchasing Zoox for only $1.2B?
Do you understand tech?
