Intel and Samsung's market overlap is actually very small. Intel is a major microprocessor supplier with approximately 85% market share. Samsung is a leader in the DRAM and NAND flash memory markets. It is a major supplier of microcontrollers and has expanded its business to include microprocessors and wireless communication chips.

According to Gartner, the chip market shrank in 2009 and began to rebound in 2010. The growth rate is expected to reach 31.5%.

Gartner's estimate of the growth rate of the chip market in 2010 is consistent with other market research companies. For example, iSuppli Corporation expects the growth rate to be 32%, while VLSI Research expects a growth rate of 30.9%.
