@insane_analyst For MTK, the fact that it previously could not sustain commercial investment on the same scale as Qualcomm to support global telecom operators does not mean the Google Pixel 11 collaboration lacked those preconditions. Same as tsmc.

@rokhardsolid@GavinSBaker@SemiAnalysis_ The understanding of the industry is quite superficial—only those within the field who lack even basic knowledge would believe it.

@10xmylife@bitpanda88 Which semiconductor company can he just visit at will? At most, you’d only be shown the showroom anyway, and right now even CXMT and YMTC have had trouble getting equipment for a long time—so camping outside the gate to count shipments would be pointless.
@jukan05 Wall Street banks’ industry research has grown so thin that they’ve effectively outsourced entire sectors to shops like SemiA. and Citrini. Why can’t they at least fake doing useful work, as they did with the “third analyst” piece?
