Captain America: Can Elon Musk Save America’s Chip Manufacturing Industry?
Intel has posted three consecutive years of falling revenue and an $18.76 billion loss in 2024 alone—and the U.S. government has handed it tens of billions of dollars to fix the problem. The government money isn’t fixing the real issue, which isn’t technical. It’s cultural. Intel got slow, political, and risk-averse—the… Read More
WEBINAR: Reclaiming Clock Margin at 3nm and Below
At 3nm and below, clock networks have quietly become the dominant limiter of SoC power, performance, and yield. Yet most advanced-node designs still rely on abstraction-based signoff methodologies developed when voltage headroom was generous and interconnect effects were secondary.
That assumption no longer holds
As supply… Read More
WEBINAR: HBM4E Advances Bandwidth Performance for AI Training
The rapid proliferation of LLMs and other AI applications, and of high-end GPU platforms that run them, is putting intense pressure on the performance requirements for memory technologies. Designers need to be keenly aware of how to make the most of their memory and controller choices, which can be moving targets given the rapid… Read More
