Revenue is the latest full fiscal year in each profile. Companies without a US-dollar figure show their reporting currency and sort last.
Bold: the company's main layer. Regular: a layer it also works in.
Chip design, manufacturing, memory, and packaging
Servers, boards, components, cooling, and racks
Energy, batteries, networks, and data-center facilities
Phones, vehicles, robots, and devices running AI locally
Bold names have this as their primary layer. Many companies span more than one.
No companies match these filters.
