Intel once again topped the chip maker ranking of 2011.

Good to see some market growth. I love Intel but I really think AMD needs to step there game up because the competition might help push the boundaries. Not to mention some price wars might be nice

Surprising ... considering that two days ago, Apple was expected to surprass Intel as the world's top "chip maker"

 

[mitunchidamparam]

look at Qualcomm and On semiconductors, they have a big jump in market share.

Dispite what many are saying, I have to say that this market looks quiet good for consumers. You dont this in many industries.

The number 1 company "only" has 15.6% of total market, thats almost perfection.
And having 23 companies with almost 70% is amazing. Its a shame it doesnt say how many companies are "All Others", but still from my perspective this is very good maket distribution.

Of course we dont see if companies are dependant of each other or if a company in the list owns another company also from the list.

Give amd some time and they wiil. right now Amd and their bulldozer is like Intel and the pentium4.

Came here to post that. Looks like Apple might have some work to do.

Even as an intel guy. I still just hope they don't continue to fall generations behind, but i do think there is meaning to what they say about bulldozer being in it's infancy. I hope so because as consumers we need the competition.

qualcomm and AMD, its comming

Yeah, LOL, I was just about to post the Apple comment. It was simply one of the most ridiculous things I had ever heard. This just confirms it!

 

[memadmax]

Puttin' the smackdown on AMD, one chip at a time.

=D

 

[theuniquegamer]

Amd can't compete intel with high end and performance cpu . Thats one of reason for this kind of monopoly in cpu market. But intel also makes some damn good cpus at very good price points.

What a bunch of bologna... Why is Apple not on this list at all? *SARCASM* I remember an article that said Apple was to surpass Intel in mobile chip manufacturing.
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/apple-intel-cpu-arm-x86,15091.html

Samsung, Qualcomm, etc. are on here for their mobile chips. Oh, ya. That's right. BECAUSE APPLE DOES NOT MANUFACTURE CHIPS!!!

 

[kooldj]

consider ivy bridge ur last cake. coz intel iz gna charge us hands n mouth when amd gets completely ripped

 

[ph1sh55]

kooldj- not likely when there is a consistent cost pressure from ARM chips. Downward cost pressure will only increase

At least AMD beat the average market growth. I'm actually surprised by that.

The ATI division of AMD is probably helping to contribute to that

that's the whole semiconductor market, people are ususally talking about the x86 CPU or GPU market

even the whole CPU market isn't really looking good, controlled only by x86 and ARM

If you look carefully, the data here reflects only revenue, not chips sold. And of course Intel with the highest profit margin and most inflated prices would be on top. It would be interesting to see the per-chip data or per-sku data, however - not that Intel didn't sell a ton of chips, obviously! But just because there's always more to the story when statistics are involved. Always.

Good point but the total amount of chips can also be confusing, Intel makes CPU's, the most complicated and expensive of all chips produced, which compared to Samsung who produces a wide range of chips, most of which are not CPU's and use less die space can be cheaper but large volumes.
I think revenue is the key here and since Intel does not rely on other manufacturers to produce chips, they can increase profits.

*coughs* Intel still suck.

AMD would be out of business if it hadn't acquired ATI
