With the continued growth of memory markets such as DRAM and NAND flash, it is estimated that Samsung Electronics (Samsung Electronics) semiconductor sales will increase by 48.1% per year for the year 2017, with $65.6 billion to squeeze Intel's $61 billion (annual increase of 7%). , and leaped into the world's largest semiconductor supplier. Intel semiconductor sales were still higher than Samsung 40% in the 1th quarter of 2016, but as Samsung's memory sales increased, Intel semiconductor sales only led Samsung 4.4% in 2017, and Samsung sales surpassed Intel for the first time in the 2nd quarter, according to a new report by Research Institute IC Insights. As the memory market continues to bullish, the estimated 2017-year Samsung Semiconductor sales will squeeze Intel into the world's largest semiconductor supplier. The end of the year since 1993, Intel has consistently ranked first in the world. However, only Intel semiconductor sales accounted for in the global overall semiconductor market sales, will be 15.6% in 2016, down to 2017 years 13.9%, Samsung will be 2016 12.1%, ascension to 15%, but Samsung sales accounted for growth, The main benefit from the big growth in memory sales is not simply a fall in the proportion of Intel's sales. According to the data, the total semiconductor estimated sales of global wafer-foundry in 2017 were $438.5 billion, 19.9%, with the annual increase of Samsung and Intel sales at 48.1% and 7% respectively. This means that although the 2017 Intel semiconductor sales have a good growth, but growth is lower than the overall semiconductor sales growth, resulting in a decline in sales. Also due to the strong growth of memory sales, estimated 2017 years ago, the top ten semiconductor suppliers, in addition to Samsung sales growth, SK Hynix, the United States Light Technology (microns) and Toshiba (Toshiba) and other major memory suppliers annual sales will increase by 75.8%, 73.3% and 23.9%, up 26.2 billion, 23.4 billion and 13.5 billion dollars, ranked third, four and eight. The Broadcom, Qualcomm (QUALCOMM) and Texas Instruments (TI) will be divided into fifth to seventh place with sales of 17.6 billion, 17.1 billion and $13.9 billion respectively. NXP (NXP) is ranked tenth in 9.2 billion dollars. Although the Qualcomm buy-out of the current case is still awaiting approval from all over the regulator, but the combination of sales of the second industry, will be 34.7 billion U.S. dollars, squeezed SK's 26.2 billion U.S. dollars, leaped into the global third cause. In addition, Bo Tong also expressed interest in the current acquisition of Qualcomm, expected the development of these acquisitions, will make the top ten industry 2018 years ago, the rankings have a big change. As for the position of Nineth place in 2017, Nvidia is expected to replace the previous MediaTek with $9.2 billion in sales. The 2017 MediaTek forecast that sales would fall 11% per cent to $7.9 billion, the top ten. In total, 2017 years ago, the top ten semiconductor sales were $256.7 billion, accounting for 58.5% of overall sales. Accounts for the highest record since 1993.
