It’s an honor to attend events like this as a guest, and even more so as a speaker. On Friday at 3:30 p.m., I’ll be moderating a panel with the CEOs of three of the hottest AI startups. I definitely have a few questions ready for them! My beautiful wife and I will also be at the banquet. I hope to see you there!
The CASPA CEO Summit arrives … Read More
Intel is considering a return to memory technology decades after abandoning mainstream DRAM and, more recently, selling its NAND business. Chief executive Lip-Bu Tan has argued that memory should no longer be viewed simply as a low-margin commodity. Artificial intelligence is turning bandwidth, latency and data movement … Read More
Daniel is joined by Ed Nelson, Strategy Director and Co-Founder of AI Infra Summit. He co-leads the production team and specializes in product strategy and management, keynote speaker acquisition and VIP network development. Ed started the summit in 2018 and has spent nearly ten years as part of the team building AI Infra Summit… Read More
Intel and TSMC are pursuing the same objective—manufacturing smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient semiconductors—but they have adopted different strategies for advanced lithography. Intel moved early to develop High-Numerical-Aperture Extreme Ultraviolet lithography, commonly called High-NA EUV, while TSMC… Read More
One of the most difficult things to do in life is ask for help. This is inherently a big problem in the semiconductor industry dating back to the IDM days where silos of secrecy were established. As a result Intel has struggled with yield since the 14nm FinFET process nodes.
On the outside PDF Solutions is a publicly traded semiconductor… Read More
Suresh Vasudevan is CEO of Clockwork.io, pioneering Software-Driven AI Fabrics™ that recover the 60-80% of cluster capacity that today goes completely unutilized. Previously, he led Nimble Storage to IPO and HPE acquisition, and served as CEO of Sysdig. Prior to that, he was at NetApp and McKinsey & Co.
His focus: making … Read More
Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan’s statement that “re-spins get you fired” reflects the enormous pressure facing semiconductor companies as chip complexity, manufacturing costs, and competitive demands continue to rise. In the semiconductor industry, a “re-spin” occurs when a chip design must be revised and manufactured again because… Read More
To me this is going to be one of the bigger Chicken Little moments in the history of semiconductors. Mostly because we are now a click driven society and the media is plagued by so called influencers that live and die by clicks. In my 40+ years as a semiconductor professional I have witnessed many of these Chicken Little moments with … Read More
The Pan Am–Boeing playbook and what Musk’s Terafab order could mean for Intel Foundry
“We either build the Terafab or we don’t have the chips.” That’s Elon Musk, speaking to Reuters, stating a supply constraint as plainly as anyone has stated one. TSMC is sold out. Samsung is committed. The existing supply chain can’t expand fast… Read More
Everyone has been treating Intel as a turnaround story. What if it’s not a scheduled airline — but a charter, and Musk is the one filing the flight plan? Not just Tesla. Companies like Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Oracle are all designing their own silicon now, and their AI infrastructure depends on it. And yet they remain dependent… Read More
