It is very important to be able to design a chip for vertical integration, and few companies in the world can design a chip. However, there are also those who work to design at least one auxiliary chip. China is predominant in this regard.
Lenovo’s $47 million budget
We see that Chinese companies such as Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi want to enter the design issue from a point by developing chips such as a visual processor or sound processor. Chinese Lenovo has also taken the first step in this regard.
In the Yoga Pro 14s Carbon 2022 laptop model, the company introduced a smart controller called LA 2. This controller receives data from various sensors and also takes care of encryption in the system. Thus, it reduces the load of the main processor.
According to information from the industry, Lenovo has allocated a budget of $ 47 million to chip development studies. Of course, this budget is not huge, but it will help the LA 2 controller to become much more capable in the future.
