Recently, Tuo Feng Industry Research Institute released the revenue and ranking of the top ten global IC design companies in the first quarter of 2020.
Qualcomm has mainly benefited from the effectiveness of its 5G product strategy. Yao Jiayang, an analyst at Tuo Dong Industry Research Institute, said that in the first quarter, Qualcomm successfully entered the supply chain of flagship and high-end models of many mainland mobile phone brands. In addition, the adoption of 5G RF front-end products has increased. In addition, the pandemic has led to a significant increase in demand for remote work and teaching, which has enabled Qualcomm’s revenue to break free from the trend of six consecutive quarters of decline and climb to the top of the list.
Broadcom’s transistor division is unable to effectively support its revenue performance due to market competition and the impact of the US China trade dispute, as well as the recent decline in smartphone shipments from its main customer, Apple. These factors resulted in the company’s revenue showing negative growth for five consecutive quarters, falling second.
