元器件交易網訊 4月9日消息，據臺灣電子時報報道，隨著
來自上游供應鏈的消息對兩家巨頭合作抱有很大的期望。不過，聯發科和微軟都沒有確認這個傳聞。
該消息來源相信，如果微軟與聯發科結成聯盟，高通將面臨很大的壓力。因為Windows平板高昂的價格，大多數品牌廠商都選擇了開發安卓平板，不過，隨著微軟新的授權策略，品牌廠商可能會重新考慮開發Windows平板。
該消息來源指出，微軟和高通的合作主要在于微軟的諾基亞智能手機。諾基亞智能手機2013年出貨量為1000萬-2000萬臺。不過，看到Windows平臺在智能手機市場一直處于邊緣地位，微軟正在為它的產品尋求更廉價解決方案，以便擴大其市場份額。（元器件交易網劉光明 譯）
外媒原文如下：
Microsoft and MediaTek rumored to be looking to push Windows tablets in the China white-box tablet market
Microsoft reportedly has been aggressively trying to persuade MediaTek to push Windows-based tablets in China's white-box market and with the software giant's announcement of offering free Windows licensing to mobile devices sized below 9-inches, sources from the upstream supply chain expect a high chance for the two firms to form partnership. MediaTek and Microsoft did not confirm the rumor.
The sources believe if Microsoft forms partnership with MediaTek, the software giant's current smartphone chip partner Qualcomm is likely to face strong pressure.
Because of Windows tablets' high prices, most brand vendors have chosen to develop Android-based tablets, but with Microsoft's new licensing policy, brand vendors may reconsider to develop related models, the sources said.
The sources pointed out that Microsoft and Qualcomm are mainly cooperating over Microsoft's Nokia smartphones, which had shipments of 10-20 million units in 2013. However, seeing the Windows platform continues to remain a minor player in the smartphone market, Microsoft is seeking cheaper solutions for its products to boost market share.
