Guide to Microprocessors

Understand the microprocessors industry to find the right manufacturers and products for you


A few microprocessor manufacturers lead the market in both manufacturing and sales of microprocessor units. Use in desktop computers generally constitutes the largest base of microprocessors, so computer manufacturers represent the largest market demand for microprocessors.

Xeon, Pentium IV, Pentium III, Celeron, Opteron, Athlon, Duron and embedded microprocessors are all viable microprocessor products. Each product has a unique share of the microprocessor market depending on the type of computer or handheld electronic dedicated device related to that product.

1. Learn the microprocessors' industry and market demands.

2. Buy from tried and true manufacturers of microprocessors.

3. Stay current on emerging microprocessors and microprocessors manufacturers technologies.

Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Know what microprocessors are best for your inventory Large scale, small scale and embedded microprocessors manufacturers know the microelectronics industry is the fastest growing industry in the world. They race to develop what the buying public wants, even when they themselves don't know it yet. Stay on top of the market and keep an eye on industry leaders and innovators so you can provide customers with what they want, when they want it, or maybe even a little before.

I recommend:  The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) is a group of chip and microprocessors manufacturers dedicated to keeping the United States as the world's leader in emerging chip technology. Participate through SIA's site in the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics, an organization of more than 70 international companies who provide microelectronic industry trends for up-to-the minute snapshots of the industry's economics, supply and demand. MIG, Micro Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) Industry Group, is an organization comprised of MEMS manufacturers and distributors with the goal of making money in the MEMS market. MIG industry group and news are full of press releases and announcements about emerging technologies in MEMS technology.

Buy microprocessors for your inventory from reliable manufacturers of microprocessors Get to know the industry leaders by familiarizing yourself with numerous microprocessors manufacturers and their products. Many manufacturers of microprocessors have proprietary technology you can access through sales agreements and minimum purchases.

I recommend:  Advanced Micro Devices is a microprocessor manufacturer, and embedded microprocessors manufacturer and designer for flash memory, system-on-chip solutions for communication devices, computers and consumer electronics. Intel microprocessors are perhaps the best known in the microelectronics industry. Intel produced and released the very first microprocessor in 1971. IBM Microelectronics is an international player in the microprocessor industry and is a leading source of technology.

Stay up-to-date on microprocessor manufacturers and their new and emerging technologies Technology is ever-changing and you don't want your inventory to get stale and outdated. Distributors and manufacturers of microprocessors want to stay ahead of market demand and produce tomorrow's high demand technology. Organizing into professional associations helps them do just that. Microelectronic professional associations provide a wealth of microprocessors information and information about both U.S. and international manufacturers microprocessors.

I recommend:  The whole purpose of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is the advancement of electronics technology, and is an excellent resource for information dedicated to that end. Subscribe to their newsletter and stay up-to-date with their conference schedules and internal news about member microprocessor manufacturers. Keep an eye on the International Microelectronics and Packaging Society for announcements about new and emerging technologies from international manufacturers.
