Recently, Samsung released its Q4 report for 2017 and the result shows that it has defeated Intel as the world’s largest chip manufacturer.
Samsung has earned a total revenue of $69 billion in 2017, defeating Intel’s $62.9 billion revenue last year which is a record year for Intel as it had an annual increase of six percent. Intel has been on top since 1992 not until Samsung took the crown and beat Intel on a quarterly basis. Samsung’s focus on mobile, specifically on memory chips, has played a vital role in change of position despite the fact that Intel’s chip covered 90% of world’s computers today.
Overall, Samsung had a full-year revenue of KRW 239.58 trillion and full-year operating profit of KRW 53.65 trillion.
