MediaTek said that the company has actively expanded its special application (ASIC) business in recent years, and has achieved initial results. In the future, it will continue to pay attention to the development of blockchain. As for whether or not the mining chip is cancelled, MediaTek said that it does not comment on the situation of a single product. At present, there is no specific timeline for launching; the industry rumored that MediaTek’s first mining chip production plan, which was scheduled to be finalized in July, was temporarily stopped because the mining market was not as expected.
MediaTek pointed out that the ASIC business is oriented to customer needs, and the products are dynamically adjusted according to market conditions. However, technology and IP are the core of ASIC business. The same technology can have multiple applications. In the blockchain, it will also focus on related technologies and IP layout.
The legal person said that MediaTek is expected to launch three products using 7nm process technology this year, including no mining chips. If the mining chips from Bitcoin must be applied with the most advanced process technology, MediaTek's mining chips are still in the preliminary research stage.
The legal person pointed out that the industry is both expecting and fearing damage to the mining market. Although TSMC has repeatedly said that 'mining mining' is a difficult market to predict, but the interior is still optimistic about the technological development prospects behind mining, so as to speculate on MediaTek's research and mining. Chip, the main intention may be the blockchain technology behind the layout mining.
The legal person believes that as the growth of the mobile phone market slows down, emerging markets such as 5G are still waiting to be developed, including products such as the Internet of Things and power management, which will be the main kinetic energy of MediaTek's short-term operational performance. This year's growth products are expected to grow by 2 digits. Percentage level.
