Consider RISC-V ISA as a new ‘unforbidden fruit’. Unlike other fruits (ISAs) that grow in proprietary orchards, RISC-V is available to all, i.e. open-source. Much like a delicious fruit can be transformed into a wide array of delectable desserts, so can RISC-V be utilized to create a plethora of effective applications across … Read More
Nvidia will likely become the largest semiconductor company for the year 2023. We at Semiconductor Intelligence (SC-IQ) estimate Nvidia’s total 2023 revenue will be about $52.9 billion, passing previous number one Intel at an estimated $51.6 billion. Nvidia’s 2023 revenue will be almost double its 2022 revenue on the strength… Read More
Accellera sponsored a luncheon panel discussion at #60DAC, so I registered and attended to learn more about one of the newest working groups for Clock Domain Crossing (CDC). An overview of Accellera was provided by Lu Dai, then the panel discussion was moderated by Paul McLellan of Cadence, with the following panel members:
The explosion in volume and consumption of data, fueled by industry trends in virtualization, networking, and computing among others, continues to push photonic solutions forward into leading positions. On Feb 2nd, I attended a panel by Ansys at DesignCon that brought together industry experts from Intel, GlobalFoundries,… Read More
The global semiconductor market in 2022 was $573.5 billion, according to WSTS. 2022 was up 3.2% from 2021, a significant slowdown from 26.2% growth in 2021. We at Semiconductor Intelligence track semiconductor market forecasts and award a virtual prize for the most accurate forecast for the year. The criteria are a forecast publicly… Read More
I first heard about High Level Synthesis (HLS) while working in EDA at Viewlogic back in the 1990s, and have kept watch on the trends over the past decades. Earlier this year Siemens EDA hosted a two day event, having speakers from well-known companies share their experiences about using HLS and High Level Verification (HLV) in their… Read More

-Chip cycle will come down. Only question is landing impact
-What does cyclical end do to re-shoring & build out plans?
-Is it less demand, excess supply or both? Does it matter?
-CHIP Act rescue efforts get desperate switching to threats
Any landing you can walk away from is a good one
For those of us who have been in the semiconductor… Read More
Qualcomm is a common name in mobile industry for chips. The company has generated $33 billion in revenue in 2021 and continues to march ahead with its innovations. However, Qualcomm doesn’t get the same visibility and mention as Nvidia and Intel in the world of AI chips. By our estimate, Qualcomm’s contribution to … Read More
