Clipping from the comments at SIA today:

<<<Here are other highlights of the 1997-2000 forecast:

* In 1997, microprocessor sales not only grew 27.6 percent, but
became the best selling product, surpassing DRAMs in total sales.
DRAMs are likely to regain the lead as the largest semiconductor
product category in 2000.

Sales for microprocessors, the central processing units for computers,
increased from $18.5 billion in 1996 to $23.6 billion in 1997. In
1998, the WSTS forecasts a 20.4 percent increase as sales reach $28.4
billion, followed by a 19.6 percent hike in 1999 as sales hit $34.0
billion. Microprocessor sales are likely to grow 19.3 percent in 2000
with sales hitting $40.6 billion.

The U.S. continues to be the hottest sales market for microprocessors,
representing 44.3 percent of all MPU sales in 1997, and 42.9 percent in
2000. Europe is the second largest market with 25 percent of all MPU
sales in 1997.>>>
