Global chip sales rose to $17.3 billion in June, an increase of about 40 percent year over year, fueled by impressive growth in several segments, according to new data from the Semiconductor Industry Association.
For all of the second quarter of 2004, revenue also saw a jump of 40 percent from the same period a year earlier, to $53.45 billion, according to research from the San Jose, Calif.-based SIA. The sequential increases were less dramatic: From May to June, sales rose 2.8 percent, and from the first quarter of 2004 to the second, they rose 9.5 percent. Sales are booming thanks to a surge witnessed in the dynamic RAM (DRAM), wireless communications and optoelectronics sectors in recent months.
But will it translate to higher profits for Intel after all the recent no-go's? -KF
