Qualcomm and ST-Ericsson Shine, Even as Wireless Chip Market Tanks
How bad was the fourth quarter of 2008 for the global wireless communications semiconductor industry? So bad that the accumulated 10 percent revenue growth during the first three quarters of 2008 was wiped out by a 23.3 percent decline during the last three months of the year, causing annual growth for wireless semiconductors to go flat with a marginal 0.7 percent increase. more

A Forgettable Year for Memory Chip Makers
For memory chip makers, 2008 will go down as a year to forget, as a major downturn in this segment caused revenue to fall for nearly all suppliers and contributed to negative results for the overall semiconductor industry, according to preliminary market-share figures from iSuppli. more

Wireless Semiconductors Outgrow Overall Chip Market in 2007
Riding the momentum of continued strong demand growth for mobile handsets, sales of semiconductors for wireless products rose at a faster pace than the overall chip market in 2007, according to iSuppli. The global wireless semiconductor market generated $29.5 billion in revenue in 2007, up 7.6 percent from $27.4 billion in 2006. These figures consist of revenue from sales of application-specific semiconductors - excluding memory - for wireless applications, including mobile handsets, wireless infrastructure equipment, wireless LANs and connectivity products. more

Global Semiconductor Market Suffers Bad Memories of 2007
Surprising weakness in the memory chip market in the fourth quarter took the wind out of the sails of the global semiconductor market, causing growth in 2007 to fall short of expectations, according to iSuppli. Global semiconductor market revenue grew by only 3.3 percent in 2007, based on the results from iSuppliĆ's final 2007 chip market share data. more

Energy-Efficient Microchip Could Help Cellphone Batteries Last Longer
Researchers at MIT and texas Instruments have unveiled a new chip design for portable electronics that can be up to 10 times more energy-efficient than present technology. The design could lead to cell phones, implantable medical devices and sensors that last far longer when running from a battery. The team demonstrated the ultra-low-power design techniques on TI's MSP430, a widely used microcontroller. The work was conducted at the MIT Microsystems Technology Laboratories. more
