As far as the x86 goes if you count the original 486&#x2F;386 family then yeah, but ever since the Pentium only AMD could some what compete with Intel the performance arena.<p>I remember having to get a non-Intel 486 CPU that would plug into a daughter board that would sit in the original socket and it was some what faster than the 486DX that it replaced.<p>And yes I am very well that MediaTek is fabless and they cannot compete with QC as far as it comes to performance but they aren&#x27;t dirt cheap either, and some of their newer SOC&#x27;s are actually quite decent. They are however pretty much the only example of an established &quot;Chinese&quot; (Lets not get political here because people don&#x27;t really differentiate between Taiwan and China when it comes to manufacturing, and most Taiwanese companies these days will actually manufacture in China because it&#x27;s cheaper) ARM manufacturer I haven&#x27;t seen any other one that can design their own SOC&#x27;s that would actually work well and be commercially viable even for global products.
