Global chip market to fall 24 percent in 2009 !
Global semiconductor revenue, hit by the economic downturn, is expected to fall 24 percent to $194.5 billion in 2009, according to research firm Gartner, in a marked worsening from its December outlook.
"After the 2001 recession, in which semiconductor sales plummeted by a record 32.5 percent, semiconductor sales took about four years to get back to 2000 levels."
Bad Hardware: Back to the 2008 level production only in the year 2012?
Let me calculate fast: 2000= 2004 then 4 years of rise and then nothing better until 2012.
Wow. Only 4 years of rise in 12 years, for the most perspective industry of the past century.
