Redpill me on these companies.
Do they have the potential to become big players in the industry?

Yes if they release source code.
No one?
>Chinese CPUs
MediaTek is Taiwanese.
Taiwan is China
No.
Taiwan number 1.
China number 5.
>t. CCP shill
Taiwan is still China, just proper China not fake imposter communist """China""".
big players no but influential in budget market yes
mediatek is fucking everywhere
Asus C201 (chromebook) has a Rockchip made ARM CPU and is currently one of the few fully librebootable machines you can get.
The only x86 manufacture besides Intel and AMD.
Their selling point used to be low powered x86 CPUs.
All chinks.
China belongs to Taiwan.
Pretty sure at least one of them is a common GPL violator. That's what you're getting at?
Heh, mainlanders and islers chinks at it again.
So where is the new Xsomething CPU they promised?
That said, Via CPUs and chipsets were among the worst supported with Linux.
rightful property of the peoples republic of china
Taiwan/China dispute is stupid but let's just say MediaTek should be more vulnerable to US back doors.
At least we won't have to worry about whether or not there are hardware backdoors in our chips because with these we can be 100% sure there are.
Transmeta. Close enough.
Their design team is in Texas. Botnet.
VIA chipsets were comfy as fuck. I still remember my Pentium 3 rig with them, lasted more than a decade. Good times.
It's shame they lost this market and now PC are essentially fully intel or fully amd.
What kind of technology VIA IGPUs use?
Surely they could expand their operation to more than a shadow of Realtek, no? Their only relevance as of now is to second-grade wireless ICs.
