In response to the previous rumors of “significant cuts in wafer production volume in 2024”, MediaTek CFO Gu Dawei responded to China Business News’ inquiry on the evening of September 8: “The company has not lowered shipments. (Numbers), third-quarter results were in line with the guidance given at the time.”
According to reports, the fluctuations in orders from leading phone chip companies often depend on the end market’s judgment of the market demand expectations in the next stage. Currently, MediaTek’s domestic share of phone chips is close to 50%.
Prior to this, Weibo blogger @手机 Chipmaster had posted on Thursday claiming, “After the release of Company H’s phone, MediaTek began to slash the number of wafers produced in 2024” and used “Butterfly” Effect” to evaluate this phenomenon.
The blogger also previously said that without external interference, if 60 million 5G phones can be sold next year, MediaTek and Qualcomm will reduce shipments of 60 million 5G phone chips if the global TAM remains unchanged.
