Intel is back as number one

But only one to see a sales decline

Chipzilla is the #1 semiconductor maker in the world despite being the only one in the top 15 to post a sales decline.

According to figures from IC Insights, Intel was actually a drag on the overall growth of the industry. The figures include foundries like TSMC as well as name-brand chipmakers like Intel and Qualcomm. They also include, where appropriate, sales of optoelectronic components, sensors, and discrete components, not just ICs. Only about half of the companies on the list make such components, and, for those that do, it’s only about five per cent of their business.

All companies, other than Intel, saw sales increase from early 2020 to now, and all but one of those posted hefty double-digit upswings ranging from 11 per cent (Apple) to a remarkable 90 percent (MediaTek), to a barely believable 93 percent (AMD).

Six of the 15 companies are fabless, which means almost half of these “chipmakers” don’t actually make their own chips.

The #3 ranked company (TSMC) is a pure-play foundry that does nothing but manufacture chips for others – including those ranked with it, like Apple, AMD, and Nvidia.
