Semiconductor IP Sector Overview
August 27, 2009
There has been a boom in the wireless industry driven by increased demand for smartphones such as the iPhone, Palm Pre, and BlackBerry and for netbooks as well as evolution of high-speed technology. Just yesterday, Nokia announced its new netbook, Booklet 3G. According to Gartner, smartphone sales grew 27% to 41 million units in Q209, while mobile phone sales declined by 6% to 286 million. Sales of mini-notebooks or netbooks are expected to reach 21 million in 2009, and 30 million in 2010, while PC shipments are likely to shrink by 6% to 274 million this year. In this post, let’s examine how semiconductor IP players Tessera, InterDigital, and ARM are benefiting from this boom.
