2026 Outlook with Howard Pakosh of Tekstart
Tell us a little bit about yourself and your company.
I founded TekStart Group in Ontario, Canada, in 1998 with a very clear objective: to help innovators turn breakthrough technology concepts into real, market-ready products. Over the past 25-plus years, we have worked across the full lifecycle of technology development, from… Read More
imec on the Benefits of ASICs and How to Seize Them
In an era where product differentiation increasingly depends on performance, power efficiency, and form factor, Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) have become the ultimate competitive weapon for innovative companies. Unlike off-the-shelf processors, FPGAs, or even ASSPs, a full- or semi-custom ASIC is… Read More
Transforming Functional Verification through Intelligence
SoC projects are running behind schedule as design and verification complexity has increased dramatically, so just adding more engineers, more tests and more compute aren’t the answer. The time is ripe to consider smarter ways to improve verification efficiency. The added complexity of multiple embedded processors, multiple… Read More
Intel to Compete with Broadcom and Marvell in the Lucrative ASIC Business
The second chapter of our book “Fabless: The Transformation of Semiconductor Industry” describes the ASIC business and how important it is. That was more than 10 years ago and the ASIC business is still at the forefront of the Semiconductor industry and is a key enabler of the AI revolution we are experiencing today.
First let’s … Read More
