MediaTek's Cooperation with Vietnamese Enterprises in Developing 'Made in Vietnam' Chips

TapTechNews July 2, it was reported that Finbarr Moynihan, the global marketing general manager and vice president of MediaTek, said at the end of June that he is cooperating with several Vietnamese enterprises to develop Made in Vietnam chips.

According to Vietnamese media VietnamInvestmentReview and VnExpress, Moynihan said at an event in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam:

We are actively cooperating with multiple partners in the semiconductor field in Vietnam. Soon, we will see Made in Vietnam chips serving (the) domestic and international markets.

Moynihan confirmed that although the production process of these chips is not carried out in Vietnam, the chips themselves are definitely Made in Vietnam.

TapTechNews note: As is the case, it is expected that these chips are designed or packaged by Vietnamese enterprises (the latter is similar to the Micron Made in India chip model).

MediaTek has been deeply cultivating the Vietnamese market for many years, and its mobile processors currently account for 49% in the Vietnamese market..

In the Wi-Fi field, MediaTek has a long-term cooperative relationship with local Vietnamese telecommunications operators that can be traced back to the Wi-Fi 4 (that is, 802.11n) era, and is currently jointly promoting Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7.

MediaTek is also actively involved in the deployment of 5G cellular networks in Vietnam, and its chips are used in the Internet of Things platform of telecommunications operators. In addition, Media Tek also provides a series of chip solutions for Vietnamese electric cars and electric motorcycles.
