Intel still top chipmaker in ’07, AMD Could Drop Off Top 10
By
Intel will increase its market share by the end of 2007 to 12.5 percent, keeping its place as the world’s top chipmaker, while rival AMD will drop out of the top 10, research firm iSuppli predicted. That is pretty shocking! Total semiconductor revenues are expected to reach $271 billion, up 4.1 percent from 2006. In September, iSuppli had said it expected the market to grow by 3.5 percent.
“Intel successfully defended much of the market share that it won from AMD in the first quarter in the PC microprocessor segment due to the success of its lines of dual- and quad-core chips,” said iSuppli’s head of market intelligence, Dale Ford.
