As AI/ML clusters scale toward 800G, 1.6T, and beyond, the optical DSP/retimer functions inside conventional transceivers (FRO) are becoming a significant bottleneck — adding power, latency, and cost to every link at a time when interconnects… Read More
Instead of tweaking existing designs, VSORA built an AI chip from scratch to fix the real bottleneck: moving data fast enough to keep the math circuits busy.
There’s a version of the AI hardware story that everyone in the chip industry has heard a hundred times. A startup raises money on a clever chip design, promises to topple… Read More
The $9.5 Billion Design IP Market: Shifting Boundaries, Arm’s Monopoly, and the RISC-V Responseby Kalar Rajendiran on 09-04-2026 at 6:00 amCategories: AI, Arm, IP, IPnest, RISC-V, Semiconductor, Semiconductor Intelligence, Semiconductor Services, SiFive, Synopsys
While semiconductor design intellectual property (IP) is a $9.45 billion market, it acts as the absolute architectural bottleneck for the entire global semiconductor value chain. The choices made at the IP layer today dictate the cost, power, and security of a downstream technology economy rapidly marching toward a trillion… Read More
Chuck McClish is the founder of Lattrex Inc., a fabless semiconductor startup building Kyttar, an asynchronous, clockless reconfigurable processor for real-time signal processing. He spent 15 years at Microchip Technology in chip design and verification, working across RTL design, UVM verification, synthesis, place-and-route,… Read More
The rapid growth of signal processing workloads in embedded, mobile, and edge computing systems has intensified the need for efficient, low-latency computation. Rich Fuhler’s update on the RISC-V Packed SIMD extension highlights why scalar SIMD digital signal processing (DSP) instructions are becoming a critical architectural… Read More
VSORA, a pioneering high-tech company, has engineered a novel architecture designed specifically to meet the stringent demands of AI inference—both in datacenters and at the edge. With near-theoretical performance in latency, throughput, and energy efficiency, VSORA’s architecture breaks away from legacy designs optimized… Read More
How do you control your smart TV? With a remote control of course, already quite capable since it allows voice commands to find a movie or TV show without needing all that fiddly button-based control and lookup. But there’s a range of things you can’t do that we take for granted on a tablet or phone screen. Point and click on an object,… Read More
Dan is joined by Moshe Sheier, Ceva’s vice president of marketing. Moshe brings with him more than 20 years of experience in the semiconductor IP and chip industries in both development and managerial roles. Prior to this position, Mr. Sheier was the director of strategic marketing at Ceva.
Dan explores the history of Ceva with … Read More
Ceva recently unveiled its XC21 and XC23 DSP cores, designed to revolutionize wireless communications and edge AI processing. These new offerings build upon the Ceva-XC20 architecture, delivering unmatched efficiency, scalability, and performance for 5G-Advanced, pre-6G, and smart edge applications. As demand grows … Read More
I generally like to start my blogs with an application-centric viewpoint; what end-application is going to become faster, lower power or whatever because of this innovation? But sometimes an announcement defies such an easy classification because it is broadly useful. That’s the case for a recent release from Quadric, based… Read More
