(InfoWorld) - Strong chip sales in the Asia Pacific region and the U.S. helped lift global sales to $20.1 billion in the month of July, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). The figure represents an 11.5 percent increase over July, 2005, and is 1.8 percent higher than the $19.8 billion in sales registered in June, according to SIA. The industry association also noted thatÂ falling chip pricesÂ are helping pull down the cost of gadgets for end-users. "For example, the average selling price for a PC declined by approximately 7 percent year-over-year," the SIA noted in its report. Around 40 percent of all chips sold go into computer products. AÂ price warÂ between IntelÂ and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) could be a large part of theÂ fall in PC prices. The companies both halved prices on some desktop PC microprocessors, the most expensive PC component, in July. The global chip industry remains on course to set record high sales this year of over $240 billion, the industry group said, thanks to strong growth in the Asia Pacific and the U.S. But the figure the SIA noted isÂ lower than its May forecastÂ calling for $250 billion in chip sales this year. SIA representatives were not available to comment on the apparent full year sales target discrepancy.ADVERTISEMENTMAKE SOA REAL WITH IBM WEBSPHERE PODCASTStreamline processes and maximize efficiency within a proven service oriented architecture.
