  Though accounting for less than half of total MPU sales, data-handling cellphones, tablets, and MPUs for embedded processing applications to keep MPU market active through 2022.

  Microprocessors, which first appeared in the early 1970s as 4 bit computing devices for calculators, are among the most complex integrated circuits on the market today.  During the past four decades, powerful microprocessors have evolved into highly parallel multi-core 64-bit designs that contain all the functions of a computer’s central processing unit (CPU) as well as a growing number of system-level functions and accelerator blocks for graphics, video, and emerging artificial intelligence (AI) applications.  MPUs are the “brains” of personal computers, servers, and large mainframes, but they can also be used for embedded processing in a wide range of systems, such as networking gear, computer peripherals, medical and industrial equipment, cars, televisions, set-top boxes, video-game consoles, wearable products and Internet of Things applications. The recently released 2018 edition of IC Insights’ McClean Report shows that the fastest growing types of microprocessors in the last five years have been mobile system-on-chip (SoC) designs for tablets and data-handling cellphones and MPUs used in embedded-processing applications (Figure 1).

  The McClean Report also forecasts that 52% of 2018 MPU sales will come from sales of all types of microprocessors used as CPUs in standard PCs, servers, and large computers.  As shown in Figure 2, only about 16% of MPU sales are expected from embedded applications in 2018, with the rest coming from mobile application processors used in tablets (4%) and cellphones (28%).  Cellphone and tablet MPUs exclude baseband processors, which handle modem transmissions in cellular networks and are counted in the wireless communications segment of the special-purpose logic IC product category.  A little over half of 2018 microprocessor sales are expected to come from x86 MPUs for computer CPUs sold by Intel and rival Advanced Micro Devices.

  Cellphone and tablet SoC processors were the main growth drivers in microprocessors during the first half of this decade, but slowdowns have hit both of these MPU categories since 2015.  Market saturation and the maturing of the smartphone segment have stalled unit growth in cellular handsets.  Cellphone application processor shipments were flat in 2016 and 2017 and are forecast to rise just 0.3% in 2018 to reach a record high of nearly 1.8 billion units in the year.

  The microprocessor business continues to be dominated by the world’s largest IC maker, Intel (Samsung was the world's largest semiconductor supplier in 2017).  Intel's share of total MPU sales had been more than 75% during most of the last decade, but that percentage is now slightly less than 60% because of stronger growth in cellphones and tablets that contain ARM-based SoC processors.  For nearly 20 years, Intel’s huge MPU business for personal computers has primarily competed with just one other major x86 processor supplier—AMD—but increases in the use of smartphones and tablets to access the Internet for a variety of applications has caused a paradigm shift in personal computing, which is often characterized as the “Post-PC era.”

  This year, AMD looks to continue its aggressive comeback effort in x86-based server processors that it started in 2017 with the rollout of highly parallel MPUs built with the company’s new Zen microarchitecture.  Intel has responded by increasing the number of 64-bit x86 CPUs in its Xeon processors.  Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm, and others are also increasing emphasis of processors and co-processor accelerators for machine-learning AI in servers, personal computing platforms, smartphones and embedded processing.

  The 2018 McClean Report shows that the total MPU market is forecast to rise 4% to $74.5 billion in 2018, following market growth of 5% in 2017 and 9% in 2016.  Through 2022, total MPU sales are expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 3.4%.  Total microprocessor units are expected to rise 2% in 2018, the same growth rate as 2017, to 2.6 billion units.  Through the forecast period, total MPU units are forecast to rise by a CAGR of 2.1%.

Which kinds of chip package
  With the rapid development of science and technology, chip packaging technology plays a more and more important role in the electronic industry. This article introduces the concept, type and application of chip packaging on Ameya360 electronic Components purchasing network.  First, the concept of chip packaging  Chip packaging, also known as integrated circuit packaging, is a technology that combines semiconductor chips with external electrical connections, heat dissipation and protection structures. Its main purpose is to protect the chip from external environmental factors, improve reliability, and realize the electrical connection between the chip and other electronic components.  Two, the type of chip package  There are many types of chip packaging, which can be classified according to its appearance, number of pins, size and other characteristics. The following are several common chip package types:  DIP(Dual in-line Package) : Dual in-line package, featuring pins arranged In two rows, suitable for through hole packaging applications.  QFP(Quad Flat Package) : four-sided flat package, characterized by a large number of pins, small pin spacing, suitable for surface mount high density electronic products.  BGA(Ball Grid Array) : Ball grid array package, characterized by the pins arranged at the bottom of the package in the form of spherical solder joints, with higher pin density, suitable for high-performance integrated circuits.  CSP(Chip Scale Package) : chip level package, characterized by a package volume close to the chip size, with high integration and good heat dissipation performance, suitable for micro devices.  WLCSP(Wafer Level Chip Scale Package) : wafer level chip size package, characterized by the completion of packaging at the wafer level, with higher integration and lower production cost, suitable for high performance, high density integrated circuits.  SIP(System in Package) : System level package, which integrates multiple functions in one package, has higher system integration and smaller size, and is suitable for complex system integration.  Third, the application of chip packaging  Chip packaging technology is widely used in various electronic products. The following are some typical application areas:  Personal electronic products: mobile phones, tablets, smartwatches, etc., usually adopt CSP, WLCSP and other highly integrated packaging types to meet the requirements of thin, thin and high-performance devices.  Computers and servers: Key components, such as CPU, GPU, and memory, are usually packaged in high-performance packaging types, such as BGA and QFP, to meet high-speed and high-density computing and storage requirements.  Automotive electronics: vehicle navigation, autonomous driving, battery management system, etc., usually adopt QFP, SIP and other packaging types, in order to meet the high requirements of reliability and stability of vehicles.  Iot devices: sensors, communication modules, controllers, etc., usually adopt CSP, WLCSP and other small package types to adapt to the design requirements of compact devices.  Medical instruments: portable ECG monitor, blood glucose meter, etc., usually adopt CSP, SIP and other small high-integration package type, to meet the high performance and portability requirements of medical instruments.

Chip Industry Fights Next Round of China Tariffs
The Semiconductor Industry Association wants the Trump Administration to remove 39 product categories from a list of some some $16 billion worth of Chinese imports ticketed for 25 percent tariffs.In written comments submitted Monday as part of the Administration's solicitation for public comment on the proposed tariffs, the SIA argued that imposing tariffs on semiconductors and semiconductor-related products currently slated for tariffs would undermine U.S. leadership in semiconductors, handicap  U.S.-based chip firms in relation to international competitors and threaten the market share of U.S. firms in China. The proposed tariffs would also cost U.S. exports and jobs, and raise the cost of manufactured consumer goods for U.S. consumers, the SIA argues.What's more, the SIA argues that imposing tariffs on imports of semiconductors and semiconductor related products would result in U.S. companies paying tariffs on their own products while doing nothing to curb Chinese policies and practices deemed by the U.S. to be anticompetitive.In the submission, the SIA says that since the majority of U.S. semiconductor imports from China are chips designed or manufactured in the U.S. that have been shipped to China for test and packaging, making import statistics for semiconductors from China a misleading metric.The SIA, which plans to testify at a public hearing on a U.S. International Trade Commission public hearing on the proposed tariffs Tuesday, estimates that the proposed tariffs would impact about $3.6 billion in U.S. semiconductor chip imports from China and another $2.7 billion in products related to the semiconductor supply chain.After failing to reach a deal with China to reduce a $375 billion trade deficit, the Trump Administration imposed 25% tariffs starting earlier this month on about $34 billion worth of mostly tech-related imports from China. An additional $16 billion worth of imports have been ticketed for the same tariff, set to go into effect in coming weeks. The Administration has also proposed a 10% tariff on another $200 billion worth of imports from China.U.S. semiconductor firms and the SIA support the aims of the Trump Administration to curtail China's industrial policies and practices around intellectual property. However, the industry — as well as most economists and analysts — oppose the tariffs, which they argue will ultimately harm the global economy and penalize U.S. companies and consumers.The SIA's submission to the USITC included the statement: "Unfortunately, misdirecting penalties at the U.S. semiconductor industry, the proposed tariffs fail to curtail Chinese discriminatory trade and unlawful IP practices or provide the United States with meaningful leverage to press China to change its behavior."As an alternative, the SIA urges the U.S. government to "utilize more effective and targeted policies," including combatting IP theft, greater utilization of the World Trade Organization and multilateral actions with allied countries to address the "problematic aspects of Chinese industrial policy."
