Amazon Kindle Fire to be powered by MediaTek chipset starting next year

Amazon Kindle Fire to be powered by MediaTek chipset starting next year

The cheap entry-level Kindle Fire tablets made by Amazon will sport MediaTek-made mobile chipsets from 2014, a report claims. This would be a huge win for the Taiwan-based chip maker. MediaTek is a household name in Asia (and mostly in China), where it supplies the chipsets for most ‘white box' mobile devices, and it's also a leading supplier for the up-and-coming Chinese mobile brands. But so far the company's presence in the ‘developed world' hasn't been felt too much.
