Chinese makers took three spots in the top 10 chip designing companies globally: TrendForce

According to the latest statistics from TrendForce Research Institute, the top ten IC design companies in the world in terms of revenue in the third quarter of 2020 are released. They are Qualcomm, Broadcom, Nvidia, MediaTek, AMD, Xilinx, Realtek, Novatek, Meiman Electronics, Dialog.

Among the top ten chip companies, the United States occupies six, leading the way. There are 3 in China and 1 in the UK.

Tuo Dai said that Qualcomm benefited from the popularity of Apple’s iPhone 12, and demand for baseband and radio frequency chips rose sharply. In the third quarter, revenue was 4.967 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 37.6%, surpassing Broadcom, ranking first.

MediaTek still ranks fourth, with its revenue in the third quarter increasing by 53.2% to 3.3 billion U.S. dollars, mainly due to the popular low-end 5G chips such as Dimensity 800 and Density 700. It is understood that MediaTek’s annual revenue in 2020 will exceed 10 billion US dollars.

It is worth mentioning that the other two chip companies from Taiwan Province of China, Realtek Semiconductor and Novatek, have achieved strong growth, have overtaken Meiman Electronics, and are infinitely close to Xilinx.

HiSilicon is not in the top ten list. Previously, when Tuoqi announced the TOP 10 list for the first half of the year, HiSilicon was affected by the continuous escalation of the US ban and could no longer exert its chip self-sufficiency for Huawei’s product lines.

Under the premise that the relationship between the United States and China has not improved, HiSilicon will The last Kirin processor was released, and other chips may face a similar situation.

According to the sales ranking of the world’s top ten semiconductor manufacturers in the first half of 2020 (including manufacturers) released by the market research organization IC Insights, HiSilicon ranked tenth, an increase of six places compared to last year.

In terms of sales, HiSilicon In the first half of the year, revenue was US$5.220 billion, a year-on-year increase of 49%. MediaTek, Realtek Semiconductor, and Novatek are not in the top ten list.
