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?

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.
Well, instead of reposting the same story 8-24 hours later, the story is reposted inside of itself. Saves duplication of effort. Even better that it's done by the guy who said he was going to clean up the site. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

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.

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.

At least there are no spelling and grammar errors in the summary.
The goal of this report is to make the existence of Intel CPU backdoors a common knowledge and provide information on backdoor removal.
What we know about Intel CPU backdoors so far:
TL;DR version
Your Intel CPU and Chipset is running a backdoor as we speak.
The backdoor hardware is inside the CPU/Bridge and the backdoor firmware (Intel Management Engine) is in the chipset flash memory.

@21m43s, keystrokes leaked from Intel ME above the OS, wireshark failed to detect packets.

[Quotes] Vortrag:
"DAGGER exploits Intel's Manageability Engine (ME), that executes firmware code such as Intel's Active Management Technology (iAMT), as well as its OOB network channel."
"the ME provides a perfect environment for undetectable sensitive data leakage on behalf of the attacker. Our presentation consists of three parts. The first part addresses how to find valuable data in the main memory of the host. The second part exploits the ME's OOB network channel to exfiltrate captured data to an external platform and to inject new attack code to target other interesting data structures available in the host runtime memory. The last part deals with the implementation of a covert network channel based on JitterBug."
"We have recently improved DAGGER's capabilites to include support for 64-bit operating systems and a stealthy update mechanism to download new attack code."
"To be more precise, we show how to conduct a DMA attack using Intel's Manageability Engine (ME)."
"We can permanently monitor the keyboard buffer on both operating system targets."
Backdoor removal:
The backdoor firmware can be removed by following this guide using the me_cleaner script.
Removal requires a Raspberry Pi (with GPIO pins) and a SOIC clip.
Decoding Intel backdoors:
The situation is out of control and the Libreboot/Coreboot community is looking for BIOS/Firmware experts to help with the Intel ME decoding effort.
If you are skilled in these areas, download Intel ME firmwares from this collection and have a go at them, beware Intel is using a lot of counter measures to prevent their backdoors from being decoded (explained below).

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?
