Lenovo might make its own mobile processors
EE Times heard that Lenovo plans to get into the chip design business. The company has maintained a small IC design team of about 10 people over the last decade, but now plans to expand this team to about 100 engineers by the middle of the year to develop chip for smartphones and tablets. Lenovo will be hiring 40 engineers in Shenzhen area and 60 in Beijing, according to the source, who asked to remain anonymous. Lenovo, based in Beijing, did not immediately respond to questions about these plans.
This initiative appears to be driven by the company’s desire to control its own destiny in smartphones and tablets--a la HiSilicon at Huawei. (HiSilicon is a chip division of Huawei.)

The remaining company, would be able to charge whatever price they want so long as the products using the chips still sell. And then we'd see that 1 remaining company facing anti-competitive and anti-trust charges.....

West better start getting used to. China will not be assembly line forever.
I would not be surprised if this directive came straight from CPC/Politburo.

just what we need more CPU makers so its that much fun for dev's to use all the power of each chips different architecture Unified Architecture for all CPU and GPU will solve so many problems
