OPPO’s Self Developed Smartphone SoC
Reports on the Chinese microblogging platform, Weibo reveals that OPPO has already started its work on its very own smartphone chipset which the company would release in 2024. The chipset is going to use 4nm manufacturing process and is expected to be made by TSMC. It is also expected that the chipset will be compatible with 5G smartphones.
It was from a MediaTek executive that we had first received the information about OPPO’s self made SoC and later an insider of OPPO had also revealed that the company has already started its works. Reports also reveal that the company has invested about 1.4 billion in the research and development of its chipset.
OPPO’s first custom made chipset, MariSilicon X was released in 2021 and was a 6nm imaging chipset. The company also has a connector chipset as well called MariSilicon Y. All these indicates that the brand in the future is trying not to depend more on leading SoC manufacturers like MediaTek and Qualcomm but to rely more on their own self developed chipsets.
Leading smartphone manufacturers like Samsung, Apple and Google already have their own chipsets and with OPPO also following the same trend, it will definitely enable the company to achieve independence and come to the forefront in the smartphone market.
