In chiplet-based design we continue the march of Moore’s Law by scaling what we can put in a semiconductor package beyond the boundaries of what we can build on a single die. This style is already gaining traction in AI applications, high performance computing, and automotive, each of which aims to scale out to highly integrated … Read More
In an era dominated by artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and high-performance computing (HPC), the demand for semiconductors that deliver high data throughput, low latency, and energy efficiency has never been greater. Traditional chip designs often struggle to keep pace with these requirements, leading… Read More
