Telecom Lead India: Apple is leading the tablet applications processor market with 53 percent revenue share in Q3 2012.
NVIDIA, Texas Instruments, Qualcomm and Samsung are the other top semiconductor vendors in the tablet applications processor market.
Strategy Analytics says tablet applications processor market increased 77 percent year-on-year in Q3 2012 to reach $0.9 billion.
Stand-alone applications processors represented about 99 percent of all tablet applications processors shipped in Q3 2012. Baseband-integrated processors have had limited traction so far in tablets and this has affected shipments of integrated vendors such as Qualcomm, Broadcom and MediaTek.
“NVIDIA led the non-iPad tablet market with one-third unit shipment share in Q3 2012 with the help of its Google Nexus 7 and Microsoft Surface RT design-wins. During the quarter, NVIDIA registered its highest quarterly Tegra tablet processor shipments since the introduction of the Tegra product. Strategy Analytics believes that NVIDIA is well-positioned to maintain its share in non-iPad tablets in the next few quarters,” said Sravan Kundojjala, senior analyst at Strategy Analytics.
