Maximum PC: Stronger than expected growth in the semiconductor market during the fourth quarter of 2012 has research firm IHS iSuppli optimistic that the darkest days are in the past. As iSuppli looks ahead to 2013, it expects the industry to sustain recent growth trends and forecasts revenue will rise by 5.6 percent by the end of the year, "bringing an end to the slump of 2012." That's good news for all players, and especially Qualcomm if it can maintain its momentum.
US and Japanese businesses will jointly produce 2nm semiconductors in the upcoming years.
Qualcommβs latest SoC for Windows laptops is now official, and itβs called the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 Compute Platform.
An unlikely competitor has entered the field.
yay!
