Putting roughly 25 million pixels into a wearable device weighing about six ounces sounds, at first, like a display problem.
It is not.
The displays must fit behind an optical system capable of turning those pixels into a usable visual field. Compute must generate and move the required data. Power must support… Read More
TSMC’s 2026 Open Innovation Platform Forum presented artificial intelligence as the force reshaping semiconductor design. Its central argument is that faster chips will require progress across the whole system: logic, memory, packaging, interconnects, power delivery and design methods. TSMC places its partner ecosystem… Read More
Intel Foundry published a two article series on chip power delivery that are worth reading. Here is a quick summary:
Artificial intelligence is changing the requirements for semiconductor innovation. Faster transistors and denser packaging remain essential, but their benefits increasingly depend on another engineering… Read More
Access to advanced semiconductor technology involves much more than choosing a process node. Design teams also need computing capacity, compatible tools, secure technology access, and experienced support. IC-Link by imec’s expanded collaboration with TSMC addresses that combination, potentially making sophisticated… Read More
One of the standout presentations at the 2026 TSMC OIP Forum highlighted a collaboration between Siemens EDA, Marvell, and TSMC. I always appreciate EDA presentations that bring together customer and foundry perspectives, and this one did not disappoint. We follow 3D IC technology closely and have published more than 150 blogs… Read More
How VSORA rebalances memory and compute for AI inference in the data center and at the edge
For more than a decade, the AI hardware industry focused mainly on model training, while inference represented a smaller share of overall demand. That balance is changing as trained models are deployed widely in recommendation engines, … Read More

A seasoned leader, with broad industry expertise, Magen has led multiple chemicals & materials-based businesses – spanning from startups to multibillion-dollar enterprises. She led and scaled new innovative research and development platforms… Read More
The TSMC OIP Ecosystem Forum highlighted many accomplishments across TSMC’s vast ecosystem. Specific achievements with TSMC as well as collaborative work across several companies were all on display.
And there was an exhibit area where you could meet the companies behind many of these stories and learn more about them.
This … Read More
For decades, chipmakers improved computing performance largely by putting more capable circuitry on a piece of silicon. That remains important, but AI is exposing its limits. Large models demand enormous amounts of data movement, sustained power and effective cooling. A fast processor cannot deliver its full benefit if memory… Read More
TSMC is introducing an AI Design Kit, or ADK, to help artificial intelligence tools make better use of its semiconductor manufacturing knowledge. The idea is to give AI agents that run chip-design workflows a technology-specific foundation, so they can adjust designs toward performance, power and area targets with less manual… Read More
