Mobile Image Sensor Progress vs Other Industries

PR Newswire: PWC Mobile Innovations Forecast predicts that between 2011 and 2015:

  • Image sensor: Megapixels per dollar (MP/$) will improve 20% CAGR.
  • Device connectivity speed: Megabits per second per dollar (Mbps/$) will improve 37% CAGR.
  • Infrastructure speed: average Megabits per second will improve 54% CAGR.
  • Processor speed: GigaHertz per dollar (GHz/$) will improve 53% CAGR.
  • Memory: Gigabits per dollar (Gb/$) will improve 48% CAGR.
  • Storage: GigaBytes per dollar (GB/$) will improve 35% CAGR.


So, whoever complains that we are shrinking pixels too fast, should compare it with Mbps, GHz and GB of others.
