What is MTK? My LG G3 isn't MTK, so what is it?

I was reading how my LG G3 wasn't "MTK" and I don't know what that means. If it isn't MTK, then what is it?

Welcome to Android Central! MTK is short for MediaTek, a chip company that makes processors for devices that are usually on the cheaper side. The G3 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801.
