According to Omdia on June 29, according to the latest data storage of the semiconductor market recession drag on the overall semiconductor market sales of global semiconductor market sales of $120.5 billion in the first quarter of this year, fell 9%, the storage market sales is only $19.3 billion, only 44% of the $43.6 billion over the same period last year.

Samsung semiconductor business sales tumbled 55.7% year-on-year in the first quarter of this year, to $8.929 billion. Intel were $11.149 billion over the same period, fell by 37.5%, but beyond the samsung, occupy the top sales.

Samsung last year, according to the annual calculation is the world's largest semiconductor sales company, but since last year's Q3 has three consecutive quarter will be the first to Intel. That has been interpreted to mean, even in the whole semiconductor market downturn, low storage pit is deeper.

As a result, with samsung electronics for the storage of the "big three" SK haili makes, meguiar's has been out of the top 10.

But no fabs company showed a tougher stance:

Qualcomm sales of $7.942 billion, up from fourth place last year to the third;

Broadcom with $6.665 billion in sales from last year's seventh jumped to a fourth;

Sales of $5.299 billion of AMD also rose from 8th to rank fifth;

Nvidia graphics processor (GPU) industry leading enterprise sales of $5.278 billion, in sixth place and flat compared with last year.

Seventh car semiconductor company infineon $4.381 billion sales year-on-year growth of 20.5%;

Are expanding their semiconductor design of apple's sales of $4.291 billion, from the 11th last year climbed to eighth place;

Texas instruments ($4.27 billion) and stmicroelectronics ($4.247 billion) also took advantage of the low storage semiconductor company, up to the ninth and tenth.
