SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Global chip sales increased 11.3 percent in November, driven by strong demand for consumer electronics, the Semiconductor Industry Association said Tuesday.
Sales totaled $22.7 billion, up from $20.4 billion in the same period in 2005.
"Despite some signs of slower economic growth in the fourth quarter, consumer purchases of electronic products remained strong and again drove semiconductor sales to record levels," said George Scalise, president of the semiconductor trade group.
