Mediatek has set aside $82 million to set up an R&D centre in Hefei, China, tasked with developing infotainment chipsets. In addition, Mediatek has already formed a strong R&D team in Taiwan, estimated at over 100 people, that will also work on infotainment system development, reports Digitimes.
Mediatek is the fifth biggest ARM SoC market in the world, so it should have no trouble coming up with the necessary resources and expertise to develop a few custom parts. Some critics may point out that certain Mediatek based products had horrible GPU support, but we are sure the company has already sorted everything out.
