Samsung Electronics is expected to overtake Intel as the world’s largest chipmaker in the current quarter, for the first time ever, on the back of strong demand for chips for mobile devices and data servers. 在移动设备芯片和数据服务器芯片的强劲需求带动下,三星电子(Samsung Electronics)预计将在本季度超越英特尔(Intel)成为全球最大的芯片制造商。 Intel has been the number one chipmaker since 1993 after releasing the Pentium CPU (central processing unit) for personal computers. However, the rapid adoption of mobile devices around the world has enabled Samsung to close the gap in chip sales in recent years. 自1993年发布用于个人电脑的奔腾(Pentium)中央处理器(CPU)以来,英特尔一直是全球头号芯片制造商。然而,移动设备在全球的迅速普及,令三星得以在最近几年缩小在芯片销售额上的差距。 |
