At present, the product has been applied to smart speaker products of Alibaba, Huawei and Xiaomi. It will also be widely used in smart appliances and other fields as an intelligent voice module. The company expands the product layout boundary around aiot and extends to a new field of intelligent wearable products – actively developing SOC chips for smart watches and smart glasses. At the same time, the company has developed a multi-layer graphics hardware accelerator, which can not only ensure the smooth display of graphics, but also optimize the power consumption through dynamic switching, block processing and other technologies.

The mass production and listing of the first generation of smart watch chips has opened a new growth pole of the company’s performance.

The chip integrates high-performance CPU, 2.5dgpu, BT / ble dual-mode Bluetooth and always on voice wake-up processing unit, and has been applied to smart watches of three brands: Xiaomi, Huawei and vivo.

The new products of the second-generation smart watch will be further upgraded and more brand customers are expected to be introduced. The new smart watch is the company’s new product line. Due to the higher cost of smart watch SOC, its unit price is much higher than that of headset SOC. When its volume is large, it is expected to contribute important performance increment to the company.
