Intel expected to regain leadership as chipmaker in 2019

IC Insights has released a report outlining the results of studies in which it believes Intel regained the top spot as a semiconductor provider. Intel took first place for almost 23 years, from 1983 to 2016, but lost it in 2017. The situation looks like it is about to change again this year. The source in question is a very reliable market research company with a long history of precise and exact findings.

Intel will regain its leading position in semiconductor supply in 2019

Intel will regain its leading semiconductor supply position in 2019 as competitors are affected by the DRAM 'recession'.

Intel has been under pressure in recent years to improve the power consumption per watt in its line of processors. With the ARM chips expected in Apple laptops in 2020, there has been pressure for Intel to regain its dominant position.

IC Insights says that Intel is "the company that is about to regain first place in this year's semiconductor vendor ranking."

The report mentions that a 24% drop in the memory market will cause the overall semiconductor market to shrink by 7%, but Intel will be able to handle this drop better than its competitors and use it to regain top spot. Samsung is going to bear the brunt of this decline, with a 20% decline in sales this year. The company expects Intel to have $ 70.6 billion in sales and Samsung to earn $ 63.1 billion in sales. In fact, IC Insights expects sales to decrease by more than 20% for major memory providers such as SK Hynix, Micron, and Toshiba. Intel, on the other hand, will actually be positive by 1%.
