APU LONG-TERM DYNAMICS


http://www.yole.fr/

© 2020 | www.yole.fr | APU Market Monitor | Q4 2020 9

• Near term: seasonally weak Q1-20 and COVID-19 impacts are overlapped to place H1-20 revenue just 3% above H1-19. Production volume

outpaced demand, keeping system builds afloat. Assuming a return to pre-COVID trajectories in mid-2021.

• Long term: Following the bounce back of demand in 2021, expecting modest unit and ASP growth to combine for growing APU revenues,

nearing $50B by 2023

If SMIC proves to be an adequatefoundry partner for Huawei/Hisilicon(~15% of APU wafers), there is muchmore potential business for SMIC, up to40% of APU wafers

With the strong national push forChinese technological self-sufficiency, aviable SMIC will become an attractivesupplier for Chinese OEMs

Chinese OEMs would also need toestablish suitable chip design expertise,like Huawei has with Hisilicon (OPPOand Xiaomi have already started thisprocess)
