Samsung May Overtake Intel As World's Largest Chip Maker In 2017 (pcmag.com)
According to U.S. semiconductor market research firm IC Insights, Samsung is likely to overtake Intel as the world's largest chip maker later this year. Bill McClean, president of IC Insights, explained that "If money market prices continue to hold or increase through the second quarter and the balance of this year, Samsung could charge into the top spot and displace Intel." PC Magazine reports: Intel first became the world's largest chipmaker back in 1993 and has held the title ever since. But as the mobile market has exploded, so did the need for the chips that make them work. Unlike on PC where Intel dominates, mobile is a different matter entirely, and Samsung is on hand to provide the DRAM and NAND chips they require.

Or is it just repeating the same phrases twice to pad out a submission?
"Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.

And it repeats itself too.

Apart from duplicating that intro, the submitter would have been more informative if he/she told us who Intel supplanted back in 1993.
I now have to `google` this I guess.
Good job /. this is by far the best written summary I have seen on this site in years.
It happens when they change something.
I'd far rather buy the world's smaller chips than the world's largest chips.
This is terrible! An artificial measurement of success have been turned against a tech company! Better warn the public! -_-;
Anons need not reply. Questions end with a question mark.
Are you sure that:
"Intel first became the world's largest chipmaker back in 1993 and has held the title ever since."
reference please...
Everything I write is lies, read between the lines.

Pretend it's 1993 again and use AOL search or gopher instead! It makes the terrible /. articles much more fun to research.

I should be a /. editor!
But how am I supposed to comment on the repost if this is the repost? You can't expect remotely insightful comments if nobody posts them first.
Or bomb maker?
According this is link it was the Japanese manufacturers.

IMHO, you can buy an 8 core 64 Bit 2Ghz computer for $60 these days, complete with Bluetooth, HDMI, flash, Wifi, ethernet.... so Intel has already lost the market to a *cluster* of companies that includes Samsung, and it's for those companies to fight it out to see who becomes the dominant one. Intel will not be one of the winners.
I don't think Samsung are currently likely to come out top, the Chinese chip makers are too cheap, they've been commoditized.
(Google Android TV Box S912 and you'll find a load of these, stick Ubuntu Arm on these and they're faultless, as Android boxes they will play 3D games and 4K video reasonably).
Looks like we're all experts at reading the summary. What about RTFA? ....
*crickets*
The article really says that Samsung's revenue will exceed Intel's if memory prices stay high. If prices drop, then Samsung is number 2. It has little to do with actual production of product. By this metric, Samsung could produce less and still become first in revenue if prices rise enough.
The number of worthwhile chips between the two tells a totally different tale. Samsung kinda makes a bunch of horseshit when it comes right down to it. Processors for toys.
Unlike on PC where Intel dominates, mobile is a different matter entirely, and Samsung is on hand to provide the DRAM and NAND chips they require?
Archie was around, along with multiple spider services. You weren't stuck using AOL. AOL was always just an advertising engine, not a search engine. Gopher had no search engine and was still better than the first few years of Yahoo, as it was semi-hierarchical.

...Samsung smartphones are replacing dynamite in many application fields!

At least there are no spelling and grammar errors in the summary.

There is no way Intel can come up with chips even half as explosive as Samsung's. Not in vain is Samsung a company on fire.
From the headline:
Intel first became the world's largest chipmaker back in 1993 and has held the title ever since. But as the mobile market has exploded...
Samsung May Overtake Intel As World's Largest Chip Maker In 2017
So...Um... So, how big is the world's largest chip anyway?
