Tracking the Big Semiconductor Story of 2012
It’s just a matter of time – perhaps just a few months - before the greatest mystery of the semiconductor industry is revealed and the peaceful co-existence of the Fab vs Fabless world is blown apart. An arms race was started by Intel to challenge TSMC and Samsung on who would control not only the high valued processor but soon to be much higher valued NAND Flash and SRAM that define mobility and data center peak performance efficiency. It is not, as many may claim, a battle between x86 and ARM architectures, it is rather an SRAM – NAND dominant memory based platform battle. The shift in our understanding will help explain the mystery as to why Intel is doubling Fab capacity starting in 2012 with the 22nm process even though the PC and server markets are expected to grow in low double digits.
