Intel Inside

One of the most popular topics on the SemiWiki forum is Intel, which I understand. Many of us grew up with Intel, some of us have worked there, and I can say that the vast majority of us want Intel to succeed. The latest Intel PR debacle is the abrupt departure of CEO Pat Gelsinger. To me this confirms the answer to the question, “What is … Read More

Analog Migration with virtuoso studio

My first job out of college was migrating a DRAM chip from one process node to a newer node, and it was a 100% manual process that required many months of effort. That need to migrate semiconductor IP to newer nodes is still with us today, and much automation has been applied to digital circuits, however migrating analog IP has proven… Read More

Webinar: Synopsys and Altera, an Intel Company, Present: A Data-Driven Approach to Multi-Die Design Architecture
by Admin on 09-12-2024 at 8:33 pm

Abstract:

A successful multi-die design begins at the architecture exploration level. However, the architecture challenges are exacerbated for multi-die designs as performance and power need to be optimized across multiple heterogeneous and homogeneous dies. Disaggregating IPs based on workload demands, selecting the… Read More

Intel and Cadence Collaborate to Advance the All Important UCIe Standard

The Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express™ (UCIe™) 1.0 specification was announced in early 2022 and a UCIe 1.1 update was released on August 8, 2023. This open standard facilitates the heterogeneous integration of die-to-die link interconnects within the same package. This is a fancy way of saying the standard opens the door… Read More
