AMD Squeezed Out of Top 10 Chipmaker List
ISuppli released its preliminary worldwide semiconductor rankings on Wednesday and the results were pretty much what you'd expect -- well, maybe with one major exception. We all knew AMD was having a tough time lately, but as a result of Intel's continued dominance in the market -- and some surprise surges from the likes of Sony and Toshiba -- iSuppli expects the Sunnyvale company will be officially banished from the top 10 semiconductor list in '07. ISuppli predicts Intel's worldwide semiconductor dominance/market-share will rise another 12.5 percent in 2007 while AMD's will supposedly plummet by 23 percent as its total revenue for the year also declines. "Throughout most of the year, 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 Dale Ford in a Wednesday statement. But while AMD's market share has increased in recent years, the Sunnyvale company has been plagued by falling revenues due in part to the ongoing price wars with its larger rival, Intel.
