Now that the dust has settled, I will give you my take on the Intel Foundry event. Some might call me a semiconductor event critic as I have attended hundreds of them over the last 40 years starting with the Design Automation Conference in 1984. Foundry events are my favorite because they really are the pulse of the semiconductor industry,… Read More
At NVIDIA’s recent GTC conference, a Cadence-NVIDIA joint session provided insights into how AI-powered innovation is reshaping the future of data center infrastructure. Led by Kourosh Nemati, Senior Data Center Cooling and Infrastructure Engineer from NVIDIA and Sherman Ikemoto, Sales Development Group Director from … Read More
At the 2025 NVIDIA GTC Conference, CEO Jensen Huang delivered a sweeping keynote that painted the future of computing in bold strokes: a world powered by AI factories, built on accelerated computing, and driven by agentic, embodied AI capable of interacting with the physical world. He introduced the concept of Physical AI—intelligence… 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

The semiconductor industry is facing a paradigm shift. Traditional scaling, once driven by Moore’s Law, is slowing down. For years, moving to smaller process nodes led to lower transistor costs and better performance. However, scaling from node to node now offers fewer benefits as wafer costs rise much more than the historical… Read More
A “PCB thermal analysis” design activity has traditionally involved the PCB designer transferring a finished design to a dedicated thermal analysis tool. While this has indeed successfully contributed to numerous PCB thermal signoffs in the past, there are inefficiencies that can be mitigated with the use of Cadence’s Allegro… Read More
Properly constraining your design is a must whether designing for high-speed, high-voltage, or high-density. Electrical Constraints in OrCAD X give designers the tools to control routing based on impedance and timing requirements, allowing users to analyze and tune those signals and reuse information between designs.
