A new report by Topology Research Institute (TRI) points out that NVIDIA has overtaken MediaTek as world's third-largest IC design firm in the second quarter of 2017. NVIDIA's revenue has soared significantly in recent years, but it's still significantly smaller than Broadcom and Qualcomm:
GPU specialist Nvidia enjoyed strong demand for data centers and professional visualization applications in the second quarter of 2017, when the company saw its revenues surge 56.7% from a year ago to US$1.91 billion, TRI noted. Nvidia entered the top-3 fabless IC vendors and had the largest revenue increase among the top 10 in the second quarter, TRI said.
Broadcom remained the world's largest fabless IC vendor in the second quarter of 2017, when the company saw its revenues increase 17.3% on year to US$4.37 billion. Second-ranked Qualcomm's revenues grew 13.1% from a year earlier to US$4.05 billion during the same period, according to TRI.
