Design IP revenues achieved $8.5B in 2024 and this is an all-time-high growth of 20%. Wired Interface is still driving Design IP growth with 23.5% but we see the Processor category also growing by 22.4% in 2024. This is consistent with the Top 4 IP companies made of ARM (mostly focused on processor) and a team leading wired interface… Read More

Alphawave Semiconductor Powering Progress
Do you know who had another great year? Alphawave Semi did. Despite being relatively young in the industry (founded in 2017), the company has quickly gained recognition for its advancements in high-speed connectivity solutions.
They specialize in developing high-speed connectivity solutions for Data centre, AI, 5G wireless… Read More
Will Chiplet Adoption Mimic IP Adoption?
If we look at the semiconductor industry expansion during the last 25 years, adoption of design IP in every application appears to be one of the major factors of success, with silicon technology incredible development by a x100 factor, from 250nm in 2018 to 3nm (if not 2nm) in 2023. We foresee the move to chiplet-based architecture… Read More
Unleashing the 1.6T Ecosystem: Alphawave Semi’s 200G Interconnect Technologies for Powering AI Data Infrastructure
In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) and data-intensive applications, the demand for high-performance interconnect technologies has never been more critical. Even the 100G Interconnect is already not fast enough for infrastructure applications. AI applications, with their massive datasets… Read More
Alphawave Semi Showcases 3nm Connectivity Solutions and Chiplet-Enabled Platforms for High Performance Data Center Applications
There were quite a few announcements at the TSMC Technical Symposium last week but the most important, in my opinion, were based on TSMC N3 tape-outs. Not only is N3 the leading 3nm process it is the only one in mass production which is why all of the top tier semiconductor companies are using it. TSMC N3 will be the most successful node… Read More
