Konka, a TV manufacturer, transforms into a chip manufacturer! The first batch of 100,000 chips are sold out, and the target for 2020 is 100 million chips...

When it comes to the Konka brand, I believe many people will think of televisions at first. However, due to market competition in recent years, Konka TVs are not as popular as before. However, Konka has also made preparations for the rainy day. Gree Electric is not the only company that has switched from the home appliance industry to the semiconductor chip market. Konka has also begun to layout the chip market in the past two years.

On the evening of February 4, Konka (Shenzhen Konka A) issued an announcement stating that some public media have recently reported that the company's first storage master control chip has achieved mass production and shipment. The specific matters are explained as follows.

Kangxinwei, in which the company holds a 51% stake, is mainly engaged in the design and sales of memory master chips. In December 2019, Kangxinwei's first memory master chip with independent intellectual property rights was put into mass production, and the first batch of 100,000 chips was sold that month. It is reported that its semiconductor company Hefei Kangxinwei Storage has officially mass-produced its first memory master chip, model KS6581A.

In the future, Kangxinwei will increase its efforts to develop new customers and bring this storage control chip to the market at a faster speed. At the same time, Kangxinwei will continue to increase its investment in the research and development of storage control chips, improve its product layout, and build core competitiveness in this field. Kangxinwei will strive to sell 100 million storage control chips in 2020.
