WEBINAR: Porting, Analysing & Optimising AI Models onto Edge GPUs

WEBINAR: Porting, Analysing & Optimising AI Models onto Edge GPUs
by Daniel Nenni on 11-02-2026 at 10:00 am

Edge GPU AI webinar banner

Modern AI models are opening up new possibilities at the edge. Turning those possibilities into responsive, efficient applications, however, requires more than choosing hardware with an impressive TOPS figure. Developers need to understand how models behave on their target devices, where performance is lost, and which optimisations… Read More

Agentic AI Reimagines 3D IC Engineering

By Sudarshan Deo, software R&D Manager for 3D IC, Siemens

What if you could completely rethink what an EDA workflow looks like for the increasingly complex 3D ICs powering the next generation of AI factories? Siemens’ expanded agentic AI portfolio is automating the hardest parts of 3D IC engineering.

At NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026,… Read More

SemiWiki SEMICON West Inline Time Between

The semiconductor industry crossed $1 trillion in annual revenue this year, almost four years ahead of earlier projections. SEMI President and CEO Ajit Manocha opened the CEO Summit at SEMICON West with a chart that told the story. A year ago, the forecast for 2030 was $1 trillion. Now it is $2 trillion, with $3 trillion possible … Read More

From Metrology to Autonomy: Why Intel Foundry’s Manufacturing Roadmap Matters

From Metrology to Autonomy: Why Intel Foundry’s Manufacturing Roadmap Matters
by Daniel Nenni on 10-28-2026 at 10:00 am

Metrology, analytics, and autonomous manufacturing

Semiconductor manufacturing has always depended on precise measurement. As devices become more complex and packaging integrates more components, however, measuring individual process steps is no longer enough. Manufacturers need to understand how decisions across fabrication, assembly, and test affect the finished … Read More

Electric blue Soitec wafer cover

Most of the AI conversation stops at the chip. At SEMICON West 2026 I sat down with René Jonker, Chief Product Officer of Soitec, to talk about what sits underneath it.

Ask an engineer where AI performance comes from and you will hear about process nodes, dataflow, HBM stacks and interconnect fabrics. Rarely about the wafer. Yet a … Read More

Silicon Catalyst Forum Nov 2026 IIII

By Richard Curtin

Ever since the Silicon Catalyst 2023 Semiconductor Industry Forum (“Welcome to our AI Wonderland”) I’ve been convinced that the Nobel Prize committee needs to consider awarding a posthumous award to Sir Arthur.

To remind you, Sir Arthur’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” movie was released in 1968. At that point in time… Read More

Agentic Loops, Autonomous Chip Design

At Hot Chips 2026, OpenAI presented Jalapeño, an inference ASIC built with AI in the design loop. As reported from the session by ServeTheHome and Tom’s Hardware, OpenAI showed measured block-level wins over a human baseline — 56% on a BF16 multiply, alongside a 10% smaller matrix-unit area — within a roughly nine-month path from… Read More
