MediaTek Inc was founded on May 28, 1997. It is headquartered in Hsinchu Science Park located in Hsinchu, Taiwan. Its sales and research subsidiaries are located in China, Singapore, India, Japan, South Korea, USA, Denmark, and England. It is a fables semiconductor company, which is specialized in designing and selling components. The components are used for wireless communication, optical storage, GPS, high-definition digital TV and DVD products.
The latest silicon chipset platform of MediaTek has been developed for mid and entry level Android smartphones. The MT6575 platform owns a 1GHz ARM Cortex A9 processer, 3G/HSPA modem. It runs the latest “Ice Cream Sandwich” Android 4.0 release. For mid range smartphones, the MT6575 platform supports 720p high definition video playback and recording with an 8MP camera and qHD (960x540) high resolution displays via a PowerVRTM SGX Series5 GPU (graphics processing unit) from Imagination Technologies.
Cortex A9 processor has powered many updated and highest performance smartphones. Cortex A Series processors’ improvement into lower cost, mainstream mobile device can offer a significant uplift for the user experience. The shipment of smartphone is expected to be 551 million with this segment in the year of 2016. Approximately 75% of those entry and mid level smartphones are expected to ship to new emerging markets. The entry level smartphones with smaller display sizes, lower resolution, less memory and reduced multimedia requirements are also available with the chipset. The latest smartphones offered by many of MediaTek’s leading customers also use the MT6575. In the first quarter of 2012, the first smartphone models based on this new platform will appear on the market.

What Segments Contributes More to 2011 Semiconductor Rise
These days, many research companies have released their latest forecast on semiconductor industry. Market reports from IHS andWSTS both indicates a little rising on 2011 chip shipments.
2011 might be still a good year for electronic markets though there are many nature disasters across the world. It is said that theglobal semiconductor revenue in 2011 is projected to amount to $325.9 billion, up from $304.1 billion in 2010, according to a newly revised forecast. The previous IHS iSuppli outlook released in April predicted revenue would rise by 7 percent for the year.
Dale Ford, senior vice president for semiconductor market intelligence at HIS said, thanks to the hardiness of the global electronics supply chain, the semiconductor industry is set for a year of solid growth in 2011.
The healthy rise in 2011 comes on the heels of the torrid 32.2 percent increase in 2010 when the market rebounded from the recession-driven downturn of 2009. Following the 7.2 percent increase in 2011, growth will then moderate during the following two years, rising by 4.8 and 4.0 percent, before accelerating to 8.0 percent and 7.5 percent expansions during the next two years.
Let’s come to see what factors have make contributions to this shipment rising.
One factor is theyear’s strongest performers in Semiconductors, Spurred by consumer demand including the 3 segments as follows:
First, also the most important one is the wireless and mobile segments. The strongest semiconductor demand growth in 2011 will be driven by the wireless and mobile segments, led by the proliferation and high demand for devices such as media tablets, smart phones, e-book readers, solid state drives and handheld video game players. Because of this, wireless communications will generate the strongest increase in semiconductor revenue of all chip application markets in 2011, with a 17.6 percent increase.
Second, the mobile PCs field. Despite the popularity of tablets such as Apple Inc.’s iPad, mobile PCs also will be a healthy contributor to semiconductor growth this year. This will help make the data processing category the third-fastest growing semiconductor application market in 2011, with growth of 6.2 percent.
Third, the smaller industrial electronics segment. The much smaller industrial electronics segment will be the second-fastest growing semiconductor application market, with revenue rising by 7.3 percent. Sectors achieving slower expansion this year will include consumer electronics at 3.1 percent and automotive electronics at 3.0 percent.
The other factor is the image sensors that leads market growth. The fastest-growing semiconductor product segments in 2011 will be image sensors, NAND flashmemory, light-emitting diodes, microprocessors, discrete components, sensors and general-purpose analog integrated circuits.
Because of these products, the collective revenue is projected to rise by more than 12 percent in 2011, with complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors leading all products with 36 percent growth. We should be still optimistic that there is another half good year for semiconductor industry.
