It’s Mediatek (mtk’s) subsidiary MStar’s subsidiary SigmaStar, so a hybrid Taiwanese and Mainland Chinese chip business :)
Mediatek is the big mover in chips
these would be selling like hot cakes if the could get the screens supply under control, they moved up from a repurposed 2.5 inch blackberry screen to a new 3.5 to try to solve this issue but still seems like there some hiccups in supply
yes it’s there are arm chips coming out everywhere hahaha and primarily from several gaming companies that collapsed in China, so why there is a flood of RockChips etc
