TSMC Intel

There are trillions of dollars at stake with AI and huge geopolitical consequences. However, the weak foundation to American technological power is their dependence on Taiwan and TSMC, which is where most advanced silicon is manufactured. America has also been taking China to the ropes lately in their economic/technology proxy… Read More

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
