The global semiconductor market in 2020 grew by 7.3%
Gartner analysts have summed up the preliminary results of 2020 in the global semiconductor market. According to them, the specified market, which contracted by 12% in 2019, returned to growth in 2020. The growth was 7.3%. In monetary terms, the market reached $ 449.8 billion.
Fears that a pandemic would have a devastating impact on semiconductor manufacturing and sales at the start of the year have been exaggerated. More precisely, the effect manifested itself in different ways in different segments. For example, automotive and industrial electronics were hit by a pandemic, while segments related to distance learning and work, on the contrary, received an impetus for development.
The experts named Intel as the market leader, which in a year was able to increase sales by 3.7% and occupy 15.6% of the market. Samsung is in second place. The South Korean manufacturer was able to increase sales by 7.7% over the year. Its share at the end of the year is 12.5%. The third place belongs to another South Korean company – SK Hynix. It increased sales even more – by 13.3%, and its share is 5.6%. Micron Technology ranks fourth with 4.9%. In 2019, all of these companies were ranked in the same places. Broadcom, which finished the top five in 2019, is now sixth. Qualcomm moved up to fifth place from sixth, with 4.0% of the market at the end of 2020.

Nvidia, when will the budget GeForce RTX 40s appear for the desktop segment? Photos of junior GPUs AD107/AD106 for mobile RTX 4050/4060/4070 hit the Network
Photos of Nvidia GPUs of the Ada Lovelace generation, designed for low-cost video cards, have leaked to the Web.
In the picture you can see the AD107 and AD106 GPUs. So far, there are no processor data carriers in the desktop segment, but they have already been announced in the mobile segment: these are the RTX 4050/4060 and RTX 4070.
The new GPUs are very compact. The smaller one has an area of about 150-160 mm2, and the larger one has an area of 180-190 mm2. In comparison, the AD104, which the desktop RTX 4070 Ti is based on and the mobile RTX 4090 is supposed to be based on, measures almost 300mm2.
The AD107 has 3072 CUDA cores while the AD106 offers 4608 CUDA cores. In both cases, video cards will have a 128-bit memory bus.
Laptops based on graphics cards with these GPUs should hit the market soon.
