AI PC momentum building with business adoption anticipated

AI PC momentum building with business adoption anticipated
by Don Dingee on 01-02-2025 at 6:00 am

Growth in AI hardware IP leads to AI PC momentum

And just like that, the AI PC arrived. It will be hard to miss high-profile advertising campaigns like the one just launched by Microsoft touting them. Gartner said this September that AI PCs will be 43% of all PC shipments in 2025 (with 114M units projected) and that by 2026, AI PCs will be the only choice for business laptop users. … Read More

Certification for Post-Quantum Cryptography gaining momentum

Certification for Post-Quantum Cryptography gaining momentum
by Don Dingee on 12-16-2024 at 6:00 am

NIST A6046 certificate for Secure-IC, the first security IP and software vendor to achieve certification for post-quantum cryptography

A crucial step in helping any new technology specification gain adoption is certification. NIST has been hard at work establishing more than post-quantum cryptography algorithms – they’ve also integrated the new algorithms into their process for third-party validation testing to ensure implementations are as advertised.… Read More

Silicon Creations is Fueling Next Generation Chips

Next generation semiconductor design puts new stress on traditionally low-key parts of the design process. One example is packaging, which used to be the clean-up spot at the end of the design. Thanks to chiplet-based design, package engineers are now rock stars. Analog design is another one of those disciplines.

Not long ago,… Read More


Get Ready for a Shakeout in Edge NPUs

Get Ready for a Shakeout in Edge NPUs
by Bernard Murphy on 11-20-2024 at 6:00 am

trackstar in a race min (1)

When the potential for AI at the edge first fired our imagination, semiconductor designers recognized that performance (and low power) required an accelerator and many decided to build their own. Requirements weren’t too complicated, commercial alternatives were limited and who wanted to add another royalty to further reduce… Read More
