According to this Strategy Analytics research report Apple, Qualcomm, Intel, MediaTek and Samsung LSI captured the top-five revenue share rankings in the tablet AP market in 1H 2016. Apple led the tablet AP market with 35 percent revenue share, followed by Qualcomm with 18 percent and Intel with 13 percent.

Sravan Kundojjala, Associate Director, commented, “The tablet AP market continues to decline and all major tablet AP vendors suffered in 1H 2016. We estimate that ARM-based tablet APs increased their share to 89 percent in 1H 2016 from 83 percent in the same period last year. Intel’s tablet AP shipments halved in 1H 2016 as the company shifted its focus away from Atom-based low-end Android tablets and towards Core-based tablets.  Windows-based tablets accounted for the majority of Intel’s tablet AP shipments in 1H 2016.”

Stuart Robinson, Executive Director of the Strategy Analytics Handset Component Technologies service, added, “Our calculations show that baseband-integrated APs accounted for one-third of total tablet AP shipments in 1H 2016. Qualcomm, MediaTek and Spreadtrum represented over 80 percent of total baseband-integrated tablet AP shipments in 1H 2016 and Intel’s recent decision to de-emphasize integrated APs will benefit these three vendors in the next few quarters.”
