<li>We expect MediaTek Dimensity 8000/8100 and 9000 are targeting shipment of ~30-40mn and 5-10mn sets respectively, which means high-end 5G smartphone chipset will aim at 10-14% 5G shipment in 2022.</li>
<li>We consider the inventory argument raised for China smartphone could be a kind of  fake issue.</li>
<li>In 5G era, the PMIC is about 2~3 times of 4G in size with the mature nodes.</li>
