Intel, the world's largest chip company, is set slip to third place in a ranking of chip companies compiled by Semico Research, based on forecast capital expenditure in 2015.
The other notable move in the top 15 ranking is the projected year-on-year doubling of capex planned by Sony for the manufacture of CMOS image sensors to take it to $2 billion and seventh position.
In 2015 the total spend across the industry is set to be $68.7 million, up 9 percent from $63.3 billion in 2014.
