Tencent has three new chips, except nobody outside the company seems to have seen them. Word was put out on Wednesday, when the company’s vice president, Qiu Yuepeng, spoke at a summit in Wuhan.

Each company is designing chips to match its roadmap, but the big question is how they will actually put their creations into mass production.
