Qualcomm and MediaTek 5G processor price competition will heat up in the second quarter

      At present, the market demand for many electronic products has declined to varying degrees, and smartphones are no exception. The demand for various components such as processors has also been affected. After the demand is affected, the competition among component suppliers will intensify. In the latest report, foreign media said that the price competition between Qualcomm and MediaTek, the two 5G processor suppliers, will heat up in the second quarter.

     Qualcomm and MediaTek are currently the few manufacturers in the world that have the ability to supply 5G processors. Unlike Huawei, Samsung and other manufacturers, Qualcomm and MediaTek do not develop and manufacture mobile phones. Processors are their main business, and their customers are major smartphone manufacturers.

　　It is worth noting that there have been reports that 5G processors are facing fierce competition this year and pressure to lower prices.

　　In a report at the end of March, foreign media pointed out that before the demand in the terminal market recovers, 5G chip suppliers are under pressure to cut prices to secure orders. In the middle of this month, foreign media reported that due to the delay in demand and the downward adjustment of the global 5G smartphone shipment forecast this year, the competition among 5G chip suppliers in the second half of this year will be more intense.
