It’s an honor to attend events like this as a guest, and even more so as a speaker. On Friday at 3:30 p.m., I’ll be moderating a panel with the CEOs of three of the hottest AI startups. I definitely have a few questions ready for them! My beautiful wife and I will also be at the banquet. I hope to see you there!

Intel Foundry published a two article series on chip power delivery that are worth reading. Here is a quick summary:
Artificial intelligence is changing the requirements for semiconductor innovation. Faster transistors and denser packaging remain essential, but their benefits increasingly depend on another engineering… Read More
The rapid growth of AI at the edge is forcing SoC architects to rethink traditional processor designs. Dedicated NPUs deliver impressive performance for today’s models, but evolving AI workloads, increasing system complexity and growing pressure on power and silicon budgets are exposing the limitations of fixed-function… Read More

The semiconductor industry is currently facing a significant challenge in functional verification. According to the most recent Wilson Research Group / Siemens EDA Functional Verification Study, first-silicon success rates have hit a historic low, with nearly 68% of designs requiring two or more spins. While… Read More
Semiconductor designers today face a critical hurdle: how to smoothly transition from an open-source hardware blueprint to a commercially hardened, production-ready silicon implementation. As semiconductors play an increasingly essential role in powering the AI era, safeguarding these hardware foundations has become… Read More
Access to advanced semiconductor technology involves much more than choosing a process node. Design teams also need computing capacity, compatible tools, secure technology access, and experienced support. IC-Link by imec’s expanded collaboration with TSMC addresses that combination, potentially making sophisticated… Read More
Siemens has again sponsored a Wilson-led survey on the state of (functional) verification in the industry, and this time Harry Foster (Chief Scientist, Verification at Siemens) has condensed his major takeaways from the report. These are intriguing – particularly an apparent revolutionary change in first-silicon trends.… Read More
Daniel is joined by Julie Rogers, Executive Director, ESD Alliance. Julie brings deep expertise in industry collaboration, technical conferences, and executive engagement. She brings more than 30 years of experience driving growth, visibility, and alignment across complex, highly technical markets. She is widely recognized… Read More
One of the standout presentations at the 2026 TSMC OIP Forum highlighted a collaboration between Siemens EDA, Marvell, and TSMC. I always appreciate EDA presentations that bring together customer and foundry perspectives, and this one did not disappoint. We follow 3D IC technology closely and have published more than 150 blogs… Read More
How VSORA rebalances memory and compute for AI inference in the data center and at the edge
For more than a decade, the AI hardware industry focused mainly on model training, while inference represented a smaller share of overall demand. That balance is changing as trained models are deployed widely in recommendation engines, … Read More
