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
It’s an honor to attend events like this as a guest, and even more so as a speaker. On Friday at 3:30 p.m., I’ll be moderating a panel with the CEOs of three of the hottest AI startups. I definitely have a few questions ready for them! My beautiful wife and I will also be at the banquet. I hope to see you there!

The semiconductor industry is currently facing a significant challenge in functional verification. According to the most recent Wilson Research Group / Siemens EDA Functional Verification Study, first-silicon success rates have hit a historic low, with nearly 68% of designs requiring two or more spins. While… Read More
Semiconductor designers today face a critical hurdle: how to smoothly transition from an open-source hardware blueprint to a commercially hardened, production-ready silicon implementation. As semiconductors play an increasingly essential role in powering the AI era, safeguarding these hardware foundations has become… Read More
