Also alive is thinking, like Oppo e Xiaomi, to produce its own SoC. In fact, these two companies have begun to work the first on a actual processor and the second on a ISP. But according to the news from China (via CNTechPost) also vivo is in the process of releasing its own chipset. But what is it about? Let's go and find out together.
All we know about vivo's proprietary processor: is it a real SoC or a dedicated imaging chip?
The Chinese smartphone maker vivo is ready to launch its first in-house developed chip, with an internal code name Yueying. It is not yet clear what the characteristics of the chip will be and it could be a chip designed to enhance imaging capabilities, the report states. It would therefore probably be an ISP just like Xiaomi's Surge C1.
Before moving on, what is an ISP? And the image signal processor (hence the name), which is part of the CPU of a smartphone. This component is entrusted with the task of supporting all those functions that, in the concrete act, the camera of our device must perform.
Getting back to the crux of the matter, the company's involvement in chip manufacturing was triggered by media reports last May who have published two trademarks relating to the deposited chips: "I live SoC"and "I live chips". The brand, as far as we know, started getting deeply involved in SoC chip design a year and a half ago, he said. Hu Baishan 2019, executive vice president.
The behemoth has launched a plan to recruit a large number of talent in the chip industry and has proposed to build a chip team of 300-500 people in the future. We'll see when and how this processor comes out. Only time will be able to give us some official status.
