MediaTek launches new chipset, eyes emerging marketsBy Lisa Wang / Staff reporterMediaTek Inc (聯發科), the world’s biggest supplier of 5G mobile chips, yesterday launched its latest Dimensity 6000 series chipset, seeking to capitalize on growing demand for affordable 5G smartphones in emerging markets including India. For example, 5G penetration in India is expected to reach 40 percent this year, compared with 20 percent last year, MediaTek said. The first smartphone featuring the Dimensity 6100+ chipset, made with 6-nanometer technology, is to be available next quarter, it said. The smartphone chip segment was the biggest revenue contributor to MediaTek, making up about 46 percent of revenue in the first quarter, company data showed. In April, MediaTek said the consumer electronics segment was down due to soaring inflation, adding that it expects mobile phone chip revenue to pick up sometime during the second half of this year.
