Ngenxa yezici ezifana nomthamo ogcwele kanye nokuntuleka kwezinto zokusetshenziswa, umhlinzeki wama-chip wokuphatha amandla wamanje ubeke usuku lokulethwa olude. Isikhathi sokulethwa kwama-chip kagesi asetshenziswa ngabathengi selulelwe emavikini ayi-12 kuya kwangu-26; isikhathi sokulethwa kwama-chip ezimoto sifinyelela emavikini angama-40 kuya kwangu-52. Amamodeli akhiqizwe ngokukhethekile aze ayeke ukwamukela ama-oda.

Isidingo sama-chip okulawula ugesi siqhubekile nokuba namandla kwikota yesine, futhi amandla okukhiqiza aphelele asatholakala kalula. Njengoba imboni ye-IDM ihola ekukhuphukeni, intengo yama-chip okulawula ugesi izohlala isezingeni eliphezulu. Nakuba kusekhona izinto eziguquguqukayo kulolu bhubhane futhi kunzima ukwandisa amandla okukhiqiza ama-wafer angu-8-intshi kakhulu, isitshalo esisha se-TI i-RFAB2 sizokhiqizwa ngobuningi engxenyeni yesibili ka-2022. Ngaphezu kwalokho, imboni ye-foundry ihlela ukukhiqiza ama-wafer angu-8-intshi. I-chip yokulawula ugesi ithuthuka ibe ngamasentimitha angu-12, futhi amathuba okunciphisa ngokulinganisela amandla anganele e-chip yokulawula ugesi aphezulu.

Ngokombono wochungechunge lokuphakelwa komhlaba wonke, amandla okukhiqiza ama-chip okuphathwa kwamandla amanje alawulwa kakhulu ngabakhiqizi be-IDM, okuhlanganisa i-TI (Texas Instruments), i-Infineon, i-ADI, i-ST, i-NXP, i-ON Semiconductor, i-Renesas, i-Microchip, i-ROHM (i-Maxim ithengiwe yi-ADI, i-Dialog ithengiwe yi-Renesas); izinkampani zokuklama i-IC ezifana ne-Qualcomm, i-MediaTek, njll. nazo zithole ingxenye yamandla okukhiqiza ezandleni zemboni yezinsimbi, phakathi kwazo i-TI enesikhundla esiphambili, kanti izinkampani ezishiwo ngenhla zingaphezu kuka-80% wemakethe.
