When we talk about chip makers, we all know numbers like TSMC, Intel or Samsung. However, they’re not the only ones making chips: in fact, more than two dozen companies around the world do so. In this article, we have collected the ten most important data to prepare a Top 10 largest chipmakers of the world.
When we talk about fleas, hardware fans automatically think of processors and graphics cards because they affect our industry the most. However, virtually all electronic devices contain chips, from teddy bears that make sounds to complex quantum computers. There are billions of devices powered by chips, and while obviously not all chips are the same or their complexity, they are still chips.
The 10 largest chipmakers in the world
Note that there is no ranking of this, but it really only takes a little research to be able to prepare a manual classification since all important companies usually publish their financial results, where we have data on revenues and sales, which will allow us to see what the largest and most important in the world. The first “classified” ones will surely not surprise you, although perhaps their order will. Go for it.
- Samsung: With a turnover of more than 50.6 billion (when we process this type of information, we always speak in USD) and a capitalization of more than 370.5 billion, the Korean firm is currently the largest manufacturer of fleas in the world.
- TSMC: Every hardware fan knows about TSMC, but oddly enough, it’s not the biggest on the market, despite the fact that its $542.5 billion capitalization puts it well above Samsung. Its revenues reached 19.9 billion last year.
- Nvidia: Right now, it is the most valuable company in the world, but when we talk about market capitalization. Its turnover last year was $14.2 billion and its capitalization was $185.9 billion.
- Intel: The processor giant currently occupies the fourth position, with a turnover of 14.2 billion dollars and a capitalization of 185.9 billion.
- Broadcom: Surely you have already had a device powered by this manufacturer’s chips, because in fact, even today, many motherboards use them for audio or network systems. They have a turnover of 9.3 billion and a capitalization of 584.8 billion. Little joke.
- Qualcomm: Right now everyone is talking about having launched the new Snapdragon Elite
- SK Hynix: famous for making DRAM chips (which are still chips), it is one of the largest manufacturers of memory products in the world, but the seventh largest in this area. ranking with 6.8 billion in revenue and 81.3 billion in capitalization.
- Materials applied: You probably don’t even know its name, but it’s a leading manufacturer of materials used in semiconductors and LCD displays. Last year it brought in 6.7 billion and its market capitalization is 153.3 billion.
- ASML: This one probably sounds familiar to you, as it is the main manufacturer of the machines that will then be used to make chip wafers. The Dutch company earned 6.7 billion last year and its capitalization is 373.04 billion.
- AMD: Lisa Su’s company remains in tenth position, and in fact barely enters this ranking. Its turnover reached 5.8 billion last year, and its capitalization is currently only 2.9 billion.
