Marketing company iSuppli has posted its rating for this year's Top 30 chip suppliers. AMD are down four spots from last year, while nVidia are up five to position number 25. Intel unsurprisingly holds the top spot with slightly less sales to 2001, while VIA Tech failed to make the list.

2002 is ending and, like a year ago, iSuppli, the marketing company, posted its rating of the world-top 30 semiconductor suppliers. The rating contains not only the chip makers like Infineon, Micron, or Samsung, but also the suppliers, selling chips under their brands, including those without own production like NVIDIA, Qualcomm, etc. As the Q4 is not finished yet, the results are compiled, using the provisional forecasts.
