CES 2025 was held last week in Las Vegas. We at Semiconductor Intelligence attended for our tenth CES. The event had over 140,000 attendees and over 4,500 exhibitors.
U.S. Consumer Electronics Market
Brian Comiskey of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) presented on technology trends in 2025. The key theme was advances… Read More
Chiplets continue gaining momentum, fueled in large part by applications for AI and 5G/6G RFICs. Keysight has a strong presence at this year’s Chiplet Summit in Santa Clara, which includes Simon Rance in a super panel discussing “Chiplets: The Key to Solving the AI Energy Gap” and Nilesh Kamdar with a keynote… Read More
As chip design complexity keeps increasing, the challenge of managing costs becomes a pressing concern for companies of all sizes. Efficient resource management is emerging as a critical lever for controlling design expenses and ensuring project success.
The chip design market increasingly demands automated solutions for… Read More
Key takeaways
- IMPATT (Impact Ionization Avalanche Transit Time) sources operating at millimeter-wave and sub-THz frequencies using GaN technology have the potential to become some of the most powerful high-frequency (RF) generators.
- At this year’s IEDM, a major breakthrough was reported: a GaN IMPATT RF oscillator achieving

At first glance, the headline annualized semiconductor market growth numbers remain strong, with HBM Memory leading the way and AI GPUs continuing to sell in a frenzy. However, a deeper dive into the details reveals a much bleaker picture. Inventory levels remain stubbornly high, and mainstream capacity utilization rates are… Read More
CES 2025 was held from January 7-10, once again in Las Vegas, so I attended virtually to gather together all of the tech and trends related to cycling, which is becoming more electrified each year. E-bikes return as the biggest category and from my cycling rides I can see how popular these bikes are becoming in Oregon for commuters … Read More
TechInsights has been in the semiconductor analysis business for more than 35 years and is THE most trusted source of semiconductor information. TechInsights started as a reverse engineering and IP analysis company but has grown into much more. I remember waiting for the teardown reports before buying electronics to make sure… Read More
IEDM was buzzing with many presentations about the newest gate-all-around transistor. Both Intel and TSMC announced processes based on nanosheet technology. This significant process innovation allows the fabrication of silicon RibbonFET CMOS devices, which promise to open a new era of transistor scaling, keeping Moore’s… Read More
There was a lot of discussion at IEDM about the coming shift to gate-all-around (GAA) transistor structures. This new device brings many benefits to continue device scaling, both at the monolithic device level as well as for multi-die design. The path to GAA is not simple, there are new material, process and design considerations… Read More
IEDM turned 70 last week. This was cause for much celebration in the form of special events. One such event was a special invited paper on Tuesday afternoon from Intel’s Tahir Ghani, or Mr. Transistor as he is known. Tahir has been driving innovation at Intel for a very long time. He is an eyewitness to the incredible impact of the Moore’s… Read More
