MediaTek and Qualcomm are in cutthroat fight for getting more chipsets customers. MediaTek's quad-core chipset has been used by Sony Xperia C last year, it is said that Sony will keep choosing MediaTek's chipsets solutions including octa-core chipset.

Moreover, another international big firm, Panasonic uses MediaTek's quad-core MT6582M 1.3GHz processor as their comeback to smartphone market.

Sony reforms its components purchase policy on wireless-related components, semiconductor sensor, and panel, those 10 core components for manufacturing smartphones, digital cameras, and game consoles. Sony will choose 2 or 3 international big firms for each core component as their strategic partners, including MediaTek and AU Optronics.

However, Xiaomi's latest 5.5-inch Honmi NOTE smartphones are also embedded with octa-core processors of MediaTek. It soon has become a seckilling and received 6 million pre-porders, which is a driving force for MediaTek.
