According to IC Insights, Intel is once again atop the silicon throne. Samsung usurped Intel in 2017 while the memory market was booming, but after sharp declines in the DRAM market Samsung has ceded the throne after just a year, even with Intel going through a CPU shortage.

Samsung's fall from the top has been anticipated, if not completely expected.
The South Korean giant lead in the semiconductor market relied heavily on the abounding revenues it was seeing from DRAM. With memory prices being closet to the lowest we've seen in years and Samsung's 1Q19 earnings greatly missing the mark, Intel's ascension back to the top was almost cemented.

In brief: Worldwide semiconductor revenue dipped significantly in 2019 due to the global downturn in the memory market. As a result, Intel was able to slide back into the top overall spot for the first time in two years.

According to preliminary results from research firm Gartner, total semiconductor revenue dipped to $418.3 billion in 2019, a slide of 11.9 percent compared to 2018. Drilling down deeper, it’s easy to see where things went off the rails.
Samsung, which had held the number one position in 2017 and 2018 thanks to strong performance from its memory division, was unable to overcome the huge hit on the memory market and relinquished the top spot to Intel. SK Hynix, Micron Technology and Broadcom retained their positions as the third, fourth and fifth largest vendors by revenue, in that order.
