Allwinner Technology (300458) was established in 2007 and went public on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange’s Growth Enterprise Market in 2015. Headquartered in Zhuhai, Guangdong, it is a global leader in the design of smart application processors SoC, high-performance analog devices, and wireless interconnect chips. The company focuses on the “Big Video + AI” strategy, with products covering smart terminals, AIoT, smart vehicles, industrial control, and more, including smart speakers, robotic vacuum cleaners, in-vehicle infotainment systems, and smart projectors.In the first half of 2025, the company achieved revenue of 1.337 billion yuan (+25.82%) and a net profit of 161 million yuan (+35.36%), with over 85% of revenue coming from smart terminal application processor chips.The company has outstanding technical strength, possessing core technologies such as ultra-high-definition video codec, heterogeneous computing platforms (e.g., octa-core A733), and low-power design. It has deep cooperation with Alibaba’s Pingtouge, developing multiple chips based on the Xuantie RISC-V architecture to achieve edge-side AI computing power and cost optimization.
Company Highlights:
Technical Barriers: The world’s first mass-produced RISC-V 64-bit general-purpose SoC (D1 chip), Xuantie core + self-developed NPU architecture, with significant advantages in AI computing power cost;
Customer Ecosystem: Covers leading companies such as Xiaomi, BYD, and Ecovacs, with a market share of over 30% in robotic vacuum cleaner chips;
New Product Breakthroughs: AI glasses SoC (V821) and Wi-Fi 6/BT5.3 Combo chip have been mass-produced, filling the gap in wireless connectivity;
Policy Benefits: Selected in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s “Edge-side AI Chip Application Demonstration Directory,” receiving government subsidies and points for operator procurement.
Core Logic:
The core logic of Allwinner Technology lies in the “AIoT edge-side computing power upgrade + domestic substitution volume release.” As a leading domestic smart terminal SoC provider, the company deeply benefits from the increasing penetration of AI edge-side applications (such as AI glasses and robotic vacuum cleaners); at the same time, through cooperation with Alibaba’s Pingtouge, it develops cost-effective chips based on the RISC-V architecture, entering the blue ocean market for domestic substitutes in automotive and industrial control. In 2025, the shipment of automotive chips is expected to increase by 60% year-on-year, with automotive-grade products like T527V already entering the supply chains of Geely and Hongqi.
Recent Highlights:In August 2025, Allwinner Technology disclosed its semi-annual report: revenue of 1.337 billion yuan (+25.82%), net profit of 161 million yuan (+35.36%), and a gross margin of 33.03%, reaching a three-year high. The company has launched a series of new products: the MR153 service robot chip has been sampled to leading customers, the T527V automotive-grade chip has passed DV tests from leading new force automotive companies, and the XR806 Wi-Fi 6 chip has been launched alongside HarmonyOS 4.0 hardware. Additionally, the company received “recommend” ratings from brokerages such as Galaxy and Zhongyou, with northbound capital holdings increasing to 940 million yuan, showing marginal improvement in short-term funds.Development Prospects:
Technical Upgrades: Focus on the integration of RISC-V architecture and edge-side AI, planning to launch a 12nm process AIoT platform in 2026, integrating higher-performance NPU (computing power reaching 4TOPS), supporting 4K video codec and SLAM algorithms;
Market Expansion: Deepening cooperation in the automotive field with BYD and Geely, expanding integrated cockpit solutions; in the industrial control field, replacing Texas Instruments chips, with over 2 million orders for agricultural drones from XAG Technology in 2025;
Ecosystem Building: Reducing customer development thresholds through the “Xuantie RISC-V Open SDK,” collaborating with Alibaba Cloud and HarmonyOS to create an edge-side AI ecosystem, with expected revenue from new categories such as AI glasses and AI toys exceeding 15% by 2025;
Capacity Layout: Investing 2.5 billion yuan to expand the Nantong and Hefei bases, with total production capacity expected to exceed 2 billion units by 2026, supporting orders for AI PCs, servers, etc.;
Policy Benefits: Benefiting from the national “East Data West Computing” strategy and semiconductor localization subsidies, maintaining a research and development expense ratio of over 20% in 2025, focusing on areas such as 4K visual AIoT and low-power HMI.
Allwinner Technology, with its technological independence (RISC-V) + diverse scenarios (automotive/industrial/consumer) + ecosystem collaboration (Alibaba/Harmony), is expected to continue benefiting from the AI edge-side revolution and the dividends of domestic substitution.
