On June 24, information from four industry insiders revealed that Qualcomm is currently engaged in talks with ByteDance to potentially provide chip design services. Should these negotiations prove fruitful, ByteDance would emerge as one of the initial clients for Qualcomm's ventures in this particular sector. Nevertheless, the discussions are still in progress, and the final outcome remains unpredictable. It is yet to be determined whether an agreement on chip design and manufacturing will be finalized, and there's also a possibility that ByteDance might explore partnerships with other entities. Specifics regarding the chip remain vague, but certain sources have disclosed that the discussions encompass the design of a video processing unit, with aspirations for large-scale production by the year's end.
