Intel to ship 241 million CPUs in 2009, says In-Stat

Press release, Editor, DigiTimes.com, Taipei [Thursday 15 December 2005]

Intel will see strong growth for its x86 chips in mobile PC processors and server processors, with moderate growth for desktop PC processors over the next several years, reports In-Stat Overall, shipments of Intel processors will rise from 153 million units in 2004 to 241 million in 2009, the high-tech market research firm says.

Key trends will be shifts to dual-core processors for PCs, and multi-core processors for servers, to increase performance while maintaining or decreasing chip power consumption, says Jim McGregor, In-Stat analyst. ASPs for all platforms have increased with the economic recovery and will continue to increase with these shifts before price degradation begins.

A recent report by In-Stat found that the shift to low-cost PC processors to further reduce the cost of PCs and address the needs of emerging markets will continue, while Intel’s mobile IA-32 architecture will be the technology driver for all PCs and IA-32 server processors beginning in the second half of next year.

In addition, a new generation of processors that feature on-chip, core-to-core communication and shared cache will make inroads.

etch, the article Brian posted refers to "worldwide IC-equipment book-to-bill ratio" whereas my charts are based on N.A. equipment manufacturers' numbers as posted by SEMI.
