I suspect the aggregate revenue of arm chips is greater than Intel, but it's fragmented and hard to track

- vidarh 10y agoGiven the massive volume difference it's possible you're right. Getting reliable numbers for the CPU market in general is annoyingly hard. I'd really like to see how the numbers for PPC and MIPS are developing. Also older CPUs that are now treated as microcontrollers, like Z80 and 6502 descendants. Western Design Centre has a statement about annual volume in the hundres of millions for 6502 descendants on their website [1], which if true means it's somewhere in the same region as MIPS, PPC and x86 for one of the top 4-5 spots after ARM.
