MediaTek Processors and Chipsets

MediaTek is a premier fabless semiconductor company that operates on the leading edge of mobile, home entertainment, and connectivity technology. Originally founded in 1997 as a spin-off from United Microelectronics Corporation, the brand has grown from its roots in Taiwan to become a global leader in high-performance power-efficient systems-on-chip for smartphones, tablets, and digital televisions.

While the company handles the research, development, and design of its products in Taiwan and globally through international R&D centers, the physical manufacturing of its chips is outsourced to specialized semiconductor foundries. The majority of these chips are manufactured by TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) and UMC in Taiwan, ensuring precision at the nanometer scale. As an independent public entity headquartered in Hsinchu Science Park, MediaTek remains the ultimate owner of its intellectual property and brand portfolio.
