MediaTek, long known as a supplier of ARM-based processors and baseband solutions for feature phones, has been pushing into the value and mid-range smartphone market in recent years. While top-end smartphones typically sport chipsets designed by the likes of Qualcomm, Samsung, Apple, and Nvidia, MediaTek has enjoyed solid growth with its new line of multi-core application processors in the lower part of the market, particularly in China, India, and other emerging markets.
