Abstract
Description
The significant successful activity of major x86 vendors in the traditional
embedded marketplace has changed the more traditional microcontroller view of
the embedded microprocessor market forever. This report, the first of its
kind, looks at all microprocessors and how they are used differently across a
wide variety of applications and industry sectors. The report focuses in
particular on any short-term opportunities and threats linked to the
unprecedented economic climate and reveals the still numerous growth
opportunities across many of the product categories.
Some of the questions addressed within this report are:
- How large were the markets for general purpose (MCU/MPU), special purpose
(CPU, DSP, GPU) and core-based (FPGA, ASSP, ASIC) in 2006, 2007 and 2008? How
are they expected to grow thru 2012?
- Who are the leading suppliers in the almost 20 component and
sub-classification categories covered? What are their market shares?
- Which industry segments are expected to grow in terms of
microprocessor-based device revenues and unit shipments during 2009, in spite
of the economic situation?
- How will component integration trends impact growth in the ASSP and ASIC
categories within each industry?
- Which market segmentation for MCUs and MPUs by instruction word-width
(4/8, 16, 32, and 64) shows trends away and towards each type based on
industry?
This study is ideal for anyone looking for a detailed quantitative analysis of
the worldwide microprocessor-based components market. This includes
semiconductor manufacturers, suppliers, software developers as well as
investment bankers, VC' s and other semiconductor industry watchers.
