The tablet AP market grew 33 per cent to $761 million in Q1. Apple, Intel, Qualcomm, MediaTek and Samsung LSI captured the top-five tablet applications processor (AP) revenue share slots.

“Apple’s tablet AP revenue grew 60 per cent year-on-year in Q1 2021, driven by new 5 nm-based A14 Bionic and Apple Silicon M1. The pandemic-driven demand also helped,” said Sravan Kundojjala, Associate Director of Handset Component Technologies service at Strategy Analytics.
