Did you know that some computer chips are now retailing for the price of a new BMW?

As computers invade nearly every sphere of life, so too have the chips that power them, raising the revenues of the businesses dedicated to designing them.

But how did various chipmakers measure against each other last year?

We rank the biggest semiconductor companies by their percentage share of the industry’s revenues in 2023, using data from Omdia research.

Which Chip Company Made the Most Money in 2023?

Market leader and industry-defining veteran Intel still holds the crown for the most revenue in the sector, crossing $50 billion in 2023, or 10% of the broader industry’s topline.

All is not well at Intel, however, with the company’s stock price down over 20% year-to-date after it revealed billion-dollar losses in its foundry business.


Rank Company 2023 Revenue % of Industry Revenue
1 Intel $51B 9.4%
2 NVIDIA $49B 9.0%
3 Samsung
Electronics
$44B 8.1%
4 Qualcomm $31B 5.7%
5 Broadcom $28B 5.2%
6 SK Hynix $24B 4.4%
7 AMD $22B 4.1%
8 Apple $19B 3.4%
9 Infineon Tech $17B 3.2%
10 STMicroelectronics $17B 3.2%
11 Texas Instruments $17B 3.1%
12 Micron Technology $16B 2.9%
13 MediaTek $14B 2.6%
14 NXP $13B 2.4%
15 Analog Devices $12B 2.2%
16 Renesas Electronics
Corporation
$11B 1.9%
17 Sony Semiconductor
Solutions Corporation
$10B 1.9%
18 Microchip Technology $8B 1.5%
19 Onsemi $8B 1.4%
20 KIOXIA Corporation $7B 1.3%
N/A Others $126B 23.2%
N/A Total $545B 100%

Note: Figures are rounded. Totals and percentages may not sum to 100.

Meanwhile, Nvidia is very close to overtaking Intel, after declaring $49 billion of topline revenue for 2023. This is more than double its 2022 revenue ($21 billion), increasing its share of industry revenues to 9%.

Nvidia’s meteoric rise has gotten a huge thumbs-up from investors. It became a trillion dollar stock last year, and broke the single-day gain record for market capitalization this year.

Other chipmakers haven’t been as successful. Out of the top 20 semiconductor companies by revenue, 12 did not match their 2022 revenues, including big names like Intel, Samsung, and AMD.

The Many Different Types of Chipmakers

All of these companies may belong to the same industry, but they don’t focus on the same niche.

According to Investopedia, there are four major types of chips, depending on their functionality: microprocessors, memory chips, standard chips, and complex systems on a chip.

Nvidia’s core business was once GPUs for computers (graphics processing units), but in recent years this has drastically shifted towards microprocessors for analytics and AI.

These specialized chips seem to be where the majority of growth is occurring within the sector. For example, companies that are largely in the memory segment—Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology—saw peak revenues in the mid-2010s.
