How do you get a shortage while not growing???
Intel Announced earnings in January. Then David Zinsner presented updates on business this week. David is open when talking and always shares 2-3 things he probably should not share. Often he shares things some of us know, but we cannot present because it is not public. Then he makes it… Read More
The CHERI Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating the global adoption of CHERI (Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions), a technology designed to improve computer security at the hardware level. Established as an independent entity, the Alliance brings together industry leaders, researchers,… Read More
In the rapidly evolving landscape of semiconductor technology, the Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) emerges as a groundbreaking open standard designed to revolutionize on-package chiplet integrations. Presented by Dr. Debendra Das Sharma, Chair of the UCIe Consortium and Intel Senior Fellow, at the Chiplet… Read More
Up to now the RISC-V community has been developing open-source processor implementations to a stage where they can appeal to system designers looking for alternatives to proprietary Arm and x86 cores. Toward this end, two projects have emerged as particularly significant examples of where RISC-V is heading. One is Ara, a vector… Read More
On February 3, 2026, Andes Technology officially announced the launch of RISC-V Now!, a new global conference series designed around the next phase of RISC-V adoption: real-world deployment and commercial scaling. This initiative marks a shift from exploratory and research-focused events toward practical, production-oriented… Read More
I have written before about an inter-chiplet communication challenge to realizing the dream of multi-die designs built around open-market chiplets. Still a worthy dream but it’s going to take a journey to get there. Arm recently donated their Foundation Chiplet System Architecture (FCSA) to the Open Compute Project (OCP) as… Read More
There were quite a few announcements at the Silicon Catalyst event at the Computer History Museum last week. The event itself was eventful with semiconductor legends in the audience and on the stage. First let’s talk about the announcements Silicon Catalyst made then we will talk about the event itself.
In addition to expanding… Read More
AI’s rapid expansion is reshaping semiconductor design. The compute and I/O needs of modern AI workloads have outgrown what traditional SoC scaling can deliver. As monolithic dies approach reticle limits, yields drop and costs rise, while analog and I/O circuits gain little from moving to advanced process nodes. To sustain … Read More
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
