| Editor's Note |
| A market researcher has updated its calculations for ranking the top semiconductor vendors based on the latest 2009 revenue figures. While Advanced Micro Devices and Hynix Semiconductor both moved up, European editor Peter Clarke reckons that Qualcomm may have registered the biggest gains during one of the industry's worst cyclical downturns. With companies like Intel, Samsung and Toshiba continuing to lead the pack, and the chip cycle seemingly now on the upside, we should soon begin to see which of the leading chip makers will begin to leverage the investments made during the downturn. Or is there a dark horse out there?
