Oppo is shutting down chip development business
Oppo confirmed its Shanghai-based chip subsidiary Zeku will be closed down due to “uncertainty in the global economy and the smartphone industry”. The chip design company was responsible for the development of the MariSilicon series of chips which included the MariSilicon X ISP and MariSilicon Y audio chip.
Oppo established its chip-making business back in 2019 and developed in-house co-processors, ISPs, modems, power management and audio chips. Based on speculation, Oppo invested over $1.4 billion in its chipset development business.
