“We are not revising our guidance for the second quarter,” MediaTek executive vice president David Ku (顧大為) told reporters on the sidelines of an event at Computex Taipeito unveil the chipmaker’s latest 5G chips . Ku declined to comment on whether MediaTek would benefit from Huawei being blacklisted by the US. MediaTek said it has made progress in tapping into the 5G market, with its first 5G single chips for high-end Chinese smartphones likely to hit the market in the first quarter of next year. Most of its customers have worked with it to roll out 5G smartphones next year, when shipments of 5G devices are expected to reach 50 million units, MediaTek said. The company’s first 5G single chip would be produced using Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s (台積電) advanced 7-nanometer technology.
