A recent TechSpot article suggests that Apple is moving cautiously towards release of some kind of generative AI, possibly with iOS 18 and A17 Pro. This is interesting not just for Apple users like me but also for broader validation of a real mobile opportunity for generative AI. Which honestly had not seemed like a given, for multiple… Read More


What ChatGPT has to say about the Chiplet Summit

What ChatGPT has to say about the Chiplet Summit
by Daniel Nenni on 02-04-2024 at 12:00 pm

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

For observers of EDA markets there is an easily overlooked opportunity for new growth. Today around 50% of EDA revenues come from systems rather than semiconductor companies, from datacenters to automotive, aerospace, energy, and others. In most of these industries total system design depends as much on mechanical and other… Read More

Chiplet

Chiplets have simplified one area of design but opened pandora’s box on another front. The simulation complexity of each chiplet is lower but now the chiplet-to-chiplet interconnect has become complex. Folks are experimenting with different interconnect protocols, variations of UCIe, modifying UCIe settings, interface… Read More
