Synopsys and Alchip Accelerate IO & Memory Chiplet Design for Multi Die Systems

Multi-die system design is clearly gaining momentum. Part of this momentum focuses on chiplets and a chiplet ecosystem. A “building block” approach for design will work better if there is a way to get verified, quality building blocks in the form of chiplets. The recent Chiplet Summit became an epicenter for this topic. The conference… Read More

Chiplet

Quite a few of the articles I now see about the semiconductor industry use AI. It is not hard to tell, especially for someone like myself, a 40 year experienced semiconductor professional who also writes. In the last 13 years (yes SemiWiki is now a teenager) we have published 9,058 blogs. SemiWiki was the first of now many semiconductor… Read More

From the comfort of my home office I attended CES 2024 virtually this week, and collected all the news for cyclists, and it’s mostly all about e-bikes. The total count of e-bike sales now even outnumber EV car sales worldwide, so that growth trend continues. Some 85% of all bikes sold in China are now e-bikes.
