Sravan Kundojjala, who happens to be the associate director of handset component technologies service based at Strategy Analytics proceeded to state that “After registering five straight quarters of shipment growth, the tablet AP market proceeded on to decline eight percent year on year in unit terms in Q1 2021. However, compared to Q1 2019, the tablet AP market saw a 23 percent shipment growth. Despite shipment weakness, tablet AP revenues continue to hold up well, driven by robust average selling prices.”
Sravan further added : “MediaTek saw its tablet AP shipments grow 19 percent in Q2 2021, driven by increased traction for its Helio P chips. Strategy Analytics estimates that MediaTek is on track to ship its highest ever annual tablet AP shipments in 2021. The x86 vendor Intel, on the other hand, grew its tablet AP shipments 22 percent in Q2 2021, thanks to windows based tablets.”
