At Embedded World 2025 in Nuremberg, Germany, on March 11, 2025, Yuning Liang, DeepComputing Founder and CEO walked onto the stage with a mischievous smile and a challenge. “What’s the hardest product to make?” he asked rhetorically. “A laptop. It’s bloody hard… but we did it. You can swap the motherboard, you can upgrade, you can’t… Read More

ARM’s Quiet Coup in DPUs
The datacenter is usually framed as a contest between CPUs (x86, ARM, RISC-V) and GPUs (NVIDIA, AMD, custom ASICs). But beneath those high-profile battles, another silent revolution has played out: ARM quietly displaced Intel and AMD in the Data Processing Unit (DPU) market.
DPUs — also called SmartNICs… Read More
An event for startup leaders, investors, and ecosystem partners focused on building the next generation of enduring semiconductor companies.
Modern EVs are prime examples of software-defined systems, so I attended a #62DAC panel session hosted by Siemens to learn more from experts at Collins Aerospace, Arm, AMD and Siemens. Here’s the list of panelists that span several domains, and what follows is my paraphrase of the discussion topics.
Panel Discussion
Q: How does… Read More

When Apple introduced Siri in 2011, it was the first serious attempt to make voice interaction a mainstream user interface. Embedded into the iPhone 4S, Siri brought voice into consumers’ lives not as a standalone product, but as a built-in feature—a hands-free way to interact with an existing device. Siri set the expectation… Read More
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
We started working with Alphawave at the end of 2020 with a CEO Interview. I had met Tony Pialis before and found him to be a brilliant and charismatic leader so I knew it would be a great collaboration. Tony was already an IP legend after his company was acquired by Intel. After 4+ years at Intel Tony co-founded Alphawave in 2017. Today,… Read More
Because of its open and modular nature, RISC-V has faced recognizable security challenges stemming from fragmentation, performance inefficiencies, and inherent vulnerabilities. Fragmentation across implementations leads to inconsistencies, making it difficult to enforce uniform security measures. Performance… Read More
