Daniel is joined by Moshe Tanach, co-founder and CEO of NeuReality. Prior to founding the company, he held senior engineering leadership roles at Marvell and Intel, where he led complex wireless and networking products from architecture through mass production. He also served as AVP of R&D at DesignArt Networks (later acquired… Read More
Agentic artificial intelligence is likely to give the open-source electronic design automation market a meaningful boost. Its biggest contribution will not be the immediate replacement of established commercial platforms from Cadence, Synopsys, or Siemens. Instead, agentic AI can make open-source tools easier to use, … Read More
TSMC’s overseas fabrication strategy is beginning to deliver its intended return: not immediate cost parity with Taiwan, but manufacturable geographic redundancy, closer integration with major customers and access to subsidized capacity in strategically important markets. Arizona and Kumamoto are already producing … Read More
Intel’s Crescent Island is a discrete data-center GPU designed for agentic AI inference, where performance is constrained by more than matrix arithmetic. Multi-step agents impose latency through repeated model calls and tool interactions, consume large memory capacity for weights and long-context key-value caches, and… Read More
Architect Labs says it has created Redwood, an AI accelerator designed and verified almost entirely by artificial intelligence in less than two weeks. If independently validated and successfully translated from a programmable prototype into manufactured silicon, the project could represent a major change in how computer… Read More
On May 25, Huawei semiconductor chief He Tingbo unveiled LogicFolding, an architecture intended to advance chip performance without relying on ever-smaller transistors. Presented alongside Huawei’s “Tau Scaling Law,” the approach prioritizes signal speed over transistor dimensions. It is a genuine engineering response… Read More
Why Advanced-Node Clock Networks Need More Than Timing Closure
Timing closure has been one of the semiconductor industry’s most reliable measures of design readiness for decades. Static timing analysis (STA) is a critical enabler for this process. It allows analysis of enormous designs across millions of paths, multiple… Read More
The global semiconductor market in the second quarter of 2026 was $368 billion, according to WSTS. 2Q 2026 set records for growth: up 35% from 1Q 2026 and up a phenomenal 104% from 2Q 2025. The previous record growth was set in 1Q 2026: up 25% from the prior quarter and up 79% from a year earlier.
Growth continues to be driven by AI. Memory… Read More
Akhilesh Kumar & Krishnakanth Sistla, Intel
Diamond Rapids is Intel’s next-generation Xeon processor, designed around the proposition that hyperscale performance increasingly depends on moving, processing, and protecting data as efficiently as executing instructions. The architecture replaces the conventional… Read More
When Lindu Krishna joined Axiomise after a career break, she wasn’t just relearning technical concepts – she was rebuilding her confidence, redefining what it means to be a woman engineer and quietly becoming the person who can take ownership of complex formal verification blocks. Backed by a culture where nobody sits … Read More
