Fabless chip designer making ARM-based system-on-chips for tablets, smart displays, dash cams and AI edge devices.
Fabless chip designer making ARM-based system-on-chips for tablets, smart displays, dash cams and AI edge devices.
Designs chips and has them made by outside foundries, selling them in volume to device makers and ODMs, often with software and reference designs so customers can launch quickly. Its chips sit in many mid-range products, so volume and price follow consumer-device demand more than leading-edge performance.
In one line: China's answer to a smaller MediaTek (embedded/edge SoCs).
Moat: narrow (IP / patents, customer qualification). Broad ARM SoC IP portfolio and design-in relationships across consumer/auto/IoT niches.
Headquarters: Fuzhou, Fujian, China · Founded: 2001 · Employees: 1,029
