Apple gained market share and extended its tablet AP market share leadership with 44% revenue share in 2019 followed by Qualcomm and Intel, each with 16%revenue share. By the way, an AP is a special kind of microprocessor. One difference between a microprocessor and an application processor is their physical packaging.
Many microprocessors are standard ICs with a standard part number. An IC is a set of circuits constructed on a single semiconductor wafer or chip, in which the components are interconnected to perform a given function
In contrast, mobile application processors are more typically systems on a chip (SoC) that incorporate functions of one or more processor cores along with other ancillary functions.
