Two recent software-based algorithmic technologies –– autonomous driving (ADAS/AD) and generative AI (GenAI) –– are keeping the semiconductor engineering community up at night.
While ADAS at Level 2 and Level 3 are on track, AD at Levels 4 and 5 are far from reality, causing a drop in venture capital enthusiasm and money. Today,… Read More
As the focal point of the TSMC OIP ecosystem, TSMC has been driving important initiatives over the last few years to bring multi-die systems to the mainstream. As the world is moving quickly toward Generative AI technology and AI-based systems, multi-die and chiplet-based implementations are becoming essential. TSMC recently… Read More
The world of computing is evolving rapidly, with a constant demand for more powerful and efficient systems. Generative AI has driven exponential growth in the amount of data that is generated and processed at very high data speeds and very low latencies. Traditionally, computing systems have been built using monolithic designs,… Read More
Consensus on smartphone markets hovers somewhere between slight decline and slight growth indicating lack of obvious drivers for more robust growth. As a business opportunity this unappealing state is somewhat offset by sheer volume ($500B in 2023 according to one source) but we’re already close to peak adoption outside of … Read More

State-of-the-art electronics demand high performance, low power consumption, small footprint and high reliability from their semiconductor products. While this imperative is true across many different market segments, it is critical for applications such as the automotive/autonomous driving and data centers. As electronic… Read More
Designers have many paths for differentiating RISC-V solutions. One path launches into various RISC-V core customizations and extensions per the specification. Another focuses on selecting and assembling IP blocks in a complete system-on-chip (SoC) design around one or more RISC-V cores. A third is emerging: interconnecting… Read More
