AMD Hits #8 On Semiconductor Top List

According to research firm iSuppli, AMD has leaped into elite company: the top 10 semiconductor suppliers in the world. In its latest top 25 rankings, iSuppli has AMD in the number eight spot, up seven positions from last year. Its larger rival, Intel, is still in the driver’s seat at number one, but saw its revenues decline by 11.1 percent in 2006.

AMD must’ve eaten their Wheaties to make a jump from 15th to 8th! That’s an incredible move on their part. Although they have lost some of their momentum thanks to Intels Core release, they plan on making up for lost time this year. Maybe we will see them go beyond the 8th spot next year?
