Samsung became the largest chip manufacturer in the world

Samsung has become the largest processor manufacturer, outperforming the market leader - Intel.

How come

Intel ruled the processor market for about ten years, but in 2017 the situation changed not in their favor. Bloomberg published financial statements that point to an undisputed winner. For 2017, Intel earned $ 63 billion, while Samsung - $ 69 billion.

At the same time, the publication notes that 2017 was successful for Intel: sales increased by 6%, and the company's chips are installed on 90% of computers. Samsung has increased revenues due to the market of smartphones and flash-drives.
