Forecast Vintages — the Revision Record

Third-party semiconductor forecasts archived under their ORIGINAL publication date, so a revision is a new row and never an overwrite — the same forecaster, the same metric, the same target year, at every date they published it. Every print keeps its source URL and the verbatim sentence that carried the number.

These are OTHER organizations' forecasts, archived exactly as published — we do not grade them. For Silicon Analysts' own projections, frozen monthly and graded against realized values, see Forecast Track Record.

Restated forecasts

Each block is one forecaster’s successive statements about one metric for one target period, oldest print first. The change between prints is the record; whether the newer number turns out to be right is not something this archive claims to know.

45 of 176 archived series have been restated at least once. 1 change unit label between prints and are shown without a delta — see data quality.

These series have been published once so far. A second print turns each into a revision chain above.

How this is collected

Collected from research-firm press releases, industry-body forecast PDFs, and company earnings materials. Each row records the forecast as stated and the date it was published; a revision appears as a new row, never an overwrite.

Every row carries a source URL, a verbatim quote from that source, and a confidence tier. Readings that cannot be verified against a dated public source are dropped rather than estimated — a visible gap beats a wrong value. See data quality.

HBM, wafer, and capacity movements each week — sourced, dated, human-reviewed.
