Overall this year, Gartner expects a 19.2 percent increase in worldwide PC sales to 367.8 million units, helped chiefly by higher growth in spending by consumers rather than businesses. "Consumer demand is likely to remain strong even if the economic recovery stalls because consumers now view the PC as a relative 'necessity' rather than a 'luxury' and will continue to spend on PCs, even at the expense of other consumer electronic devices," Atwal said.

Do you have the annual data for Worldwide Semiconductor Revenue by year handy or know where it is listed? After hemming and hawing, I am finally starting a format to track Gartner estimates over time in a way I can update when they update their forecasts kirklindstrom.blogspot.com If you want to make a chart for it, I can include it in the updates and give you credit.... just let me know how you want it done. I'll make it so you just click on the Label: Gartner Semiconductor Revenue to find past updates. Thanks
