This report presents a detailed analysis of the embedded microprocessor, customer-specific, cell-based market. That is to say, designs that include at least one pre-defined microprocessor block (or core), along with other functions, such as memory, logic and/or analog, using a cell-based design approach. This market will see its' worldwide revenues grow from $4,657.5 million last year, which was up 14.4% from 2002, to $8,407.6 million by the year 2008. This translates to a compound annual growth rate, 2003-2008, of 12.5%.
End-use consumption of products designed using this technology is examined and compared, in detail, by bit width (8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit), with respect to the major, SIA defined end-use markets: Electronic Data Processing (EDP), communications, consumer, industrial, military and automotive, as well as by major second-level end-use applications, such as networks, basestations, servers, et cetera. Geographic consumption for each of the four major regions, The Americas, Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific, by bit width, is also analyzed, as is processor architecture, i.e., embedded microprocessor provider, as well as by logic and mixed-signal trends. Also included is an analysis of the split between the use of soft- and hard-cores for the implementation of the embedded microprocessor.
