According to TrendForce’s latest report, AI has stimulated a surge in related supply chain stockings. In addition to driving the revenue of the world’s top ten IC design companies to US$38.1 billion in the second quarter, an increase of 12.5% from the previous quarter, it also pushed Nvidia to officially replace it in the second quarter. Qualcomm has become the global leader in IC design. Judging from the revenue performance of various companies in the second quarter, NVIDIA benefited from global CSPs (cloud service providers), Internet companies and enterprise generative AI, and large-scale language model import application demand. Its data center revenue increased by as much as 105% quarterly. .

After MediaTek experienced inventory corrections for several quarters, the inventory levels of some components such as TV SoC and WiFi have gradually turned healthy. In addition, urgent orders for TVs have appeared, and shipments and inventory levels related to mobile phones, smart terminal platforms, power management ICs and other platforms have returned. Subsidies have also been launched one after another, driving second quarter revenue to grow to US$3.2 billion, ranking fifth.
The following ranking of the world’s top ten IC design companies in the second quarter of 2023:
