Fabless semiconductor companies - statistics & facts
While Nvidia, Qualcomm, and AMD continue to make strides in the development of technologies revolving around artificial intelligence (AI), they can also be linked by the fact that they are all fabless semiconductor companies. These firms, forming part of the wider semiconductor ecosystem, produce the designs for semiconductors but do not own any production facilities. Instead, the manufacturing of semiconductors is outsourced to foundry companies. However, with a limited pool of specialized chip manufacturers, securing and maintaining strong partnerships is key for fabless firms.
