If you need a reminder of where Intel comes from, Gordon Moore (of Moore’s Law fame) was a co-founder of Intel. They were at the cutting edge of semiconductors before being left behind by competitors in Asia. The journey back to the top is painful and long, with many disappointed shareholders along the way. With the group now split into two profit centres and truly nowhere to hide, is this the time to believe in the turnaround?

Qualcomm holds a vast library of patents for 3G, 4G and 5G technology. The company has earned licensing revenue for years, with the profits reinvested in extensive R&D to create the Snapdragon range of chips and associated systems. On paper, it should all be going well. In practice, Qualcomm has been a laggard in the sector. With smartphone volumes under pressure, what does the near-term picture look like?

Use the podcast player below to listen to our discussion on Taiwan Semiconductor Company (TSMC) and its Q4’21 result, which accompanies the detailed write-up below: (Date of report: 19 January 2022) The megatrends are clear. The world is more digital then ever before and digitalisation isn't likely to slow down. Chips may well be the new oil. The demand for them seems to be insatiable. With unit growth in products like smartphones and electric vehicles, along with increased silicon content per device (i.e. more computing power), there's a double-whammy tailwind for demand in this industry. Taiwan Semiconductor Company (commonly called TSMC [...]
