Oppo to launch its own SoC in 2024

21 February 2023
The company is in talks with TSMC to manufacture it.

This will sadly make them the next prime candidate for US sanctions. They stop buying from US companies so they are disposable and the fewer american components they buy the higher the chance. Smartphone market loses another competitor (or 4 if BBK as a whole gets banned) and the others increase prices further cause they can..

    This is good to see. Since the Huawei ban it's been a bit boring for SOCs. It was Kirin chips that made Huawei so successful in China as it was something they had to stand out from other brands which all used the same chips and same components from the same third party companies. So far Oppo, Xiaomi or Vivo have not really managed to be successful in high end smartphone sales in China, like Huawei was a few years ago. They have only achieved a fraction of the sales Huawei did in the high end market. If any of the 3 major Chinese brands want to distinguish themselves from the others they will need their own chips to offer something different. Otherwise they are all just coming with more or less the exact same hardware with little to distinguish between them. Wouldn't be surprised if Xiaomi and Vivo also have plans for their own self-designed SOCs.

                Great news, they are the only Chinese manufacturer other than Huawei that have the engineers to pull it off.

                  Tensynos = Exynos based Garbage

                  Oppo Silicon = MediocreTek based Garbage

                    joe nodden, 21 Feb 2023In other words TSMC is making a new SoC. The chipset might be produced by a Chinese foundry if we look at the Chinese government's initiative for all Chinese tech brands to be self-sufficient after the US Huawei ban.
