Emasontweni ambalwa edlule, izindaba seziqalile ukuvela mayelana nezimboni ezahlukahlukene ezithintekile ngenxa yokushoda kwe-chip global. Yize, noma ngabe umhlaba ubhekene nezinselelo, kubonakala kunjalo Oppo ayikaze ihlupheke kabi njengamanye amafemu.
Ngokwalo mbiko I-EEO, Umthombo osondelene nemboni ye-chipset ye-smartphone, uthe akukho ukushoda okwedlulele kwama-chips eselula abakhiqizi befoni. Ngamanye amagama, ayikho ingozi yokuthi ama-smartphones azophela ngenxa yokushoda kwama-semiconductors. Phambilini besibika izingqinamba zokuhlinzekwa kwe-chip ezithinta abenzi be-chip be-Qualcomm nokunikezwa kwabo kuma-OEM anjengeRealme neXiaomi. Kodwa-ke, kubonakala sengathi ngaphandle kwezinkinga zokunikezela, le mikhiqizo isengakwazi ukukhiqiza ama-smartphones abo.
U-Oppo uthe ekuqaleni kwaleli sonto ukuthi ukutholakala kwamachips ayo kanye nezinto zokusetshenziswa ezihlobene nakho kusuka kunikezelo lwayo kunciphile, kepha ngokuqoqwa kwayo kwamanje, kusengakuqinisekisa ukukhiqizwa kwama-smartphones ayo. Ngokomthombo, imvelo yamanje yemakethe inenkinga yezinsiza ezahlukahlukene ze-SoC (system on a chip), kufaka phakathi i-chip enkulu, i-RF, amandla, i-Bluetooth nezinye izinto ezibalulekile zeprosesa.
Khonamanjalo, iHuawei, umkhiqizi omkhulu wama-smartphone eChina, ibhekene nokwehla okukhulu kwesabelo semakethe ezweni layo. Lokhu kungenxa yokujeziswa kwe-US, okuholele ekwehlisweni kokuhlinzekwa kwe-chip, okuholele ekutheni izimbangi zaseChina ezilwayo zilwe ukufuna isabelo semakethe yazo eChina. Ngeshwa, ukushoda kwe-chip global kulindeleke ukuthi kuhlale kuze kube okungenani uhhafu wesibili wonyaka, futhi kungenzeka kukhule nakunyaka ozayo. Ngakho hlala ubukele.
