Qualcomm Falters at Top Of Fabless Ranking

By Peter Clarke, EETimes, Dec. 13, 2016 – 

LONDON--Qualcomm CDMA Technologies is set to remain the leading fabless chip company in 2016 despite falling revenue, according to a forecast from TrendForce Corp. (Taipei).

Qualcomm and several other top ten fabless chip companies will experience declining revenue. Broadcom Ltd., now including Avago, is expected to be runner-up although revenue is down compared with the combined sales of Broadcom and Avago in 2015.

The successful companies are MediaTek in third place and Nvidia and Realtek, further down the ranking. MediaTek's success is based on strong penetration of the Chinese smartphone market. Nvidia has established itself in the gaming market and is also benefiting from revenues in datacenters and automotive. AMD has achieved some success with its semi-custom chip business and an expansion from the weak personal computer business into embedded applications.
