Earlier this week Gartner Inc. raised its 2012 worldwide semiconductor revenue growth projection to 4 percent as the market researcher says the industry is poised for a rebound starting in the second quarter. "The inventory correction is expected to conclude this quarter, foundry utilization rates are bottoming, and the economic outlook is stabilizing," said Bryan Lewis, research vice president at Gartner.
