PCI Express (PCIe), PCIe switches, Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), Network Interface Cards (NICs), and SmartNICs are all well-established technologies that have formed the backbone of computing and networking systems for years. More recently, SuperNICs have emerged as the next generation of networking devices optimized… Read More
The semiconductor landscape is currently undergoing a structural transformation as the “Data-Centric Shift” moves the industry’s center of gravity from smartphones toward High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI infrastructure.
This transition is clearly validated by TSMC’s 2025 filings, which show… Read More
The rapid emergence of AI-enabled personal computers is driving unprecedented demand for higher memory bandwidth, improved signal integrity and greater system reliability. To address these requirements, Rambus has introduced a complete client memory interface chipset for Clocked Unbuffered Dual In-Line Memory Modules… Read More
After more than 15 years of collaboration with Dr. Eric Esteve and IPnest, SemiWiki has acquired the famed IP reports with Eric Esteve staying on through 2026 to ease the transition. Not only will SemiWiki provide the industry standard Interface IP and Design IP reports, SemiWiki will be expanding the depth and breadth of the coverage.… Read More
Since the invention of the 1T1C bit cell more than 50 years ago, DRAMs have become the main memory of choice for processors in computing systems and consumer electronics devices. As new computing paradigms have been created, including AI, 3D graphics, HPC, cloud computing, and smart phones, specialized processors… Read More
For more than a decade, progress in artificial intelligence has been framed almost entirely through the lens of compute. Faster GPUs, denser accelerators, and higher TOPS defined each new generation. But as generative and agentic AI enter their next phase, that framing is no longer sufficient. The most advanced AI systems today… Read More
Dan is joined by Scott Best, technical director at Rambus. His research areas are memory architectures, 3D packaging, and security processors. Scott joined Rambus in 1998 and has served in many and varied technical roles. He has become one of the most prolific inventors in the company’s history. Over the course of his career at … Read More
Traveling by car is something that I take for granted and I just expect that my trips will be safe, yet our cars are increasingly using dozens of ECUs, SoCs and millions of lines of software code that combined together present a target for hackers or system failures. The Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASIL) are known by the letters:… Read More
It has been an exciting time in the semiconductor industry and the excitement is far from over. Years 2022 and 2023 will be more challenging in many different ways and live activities have just begun. The cornerstones to the semiconductor industry are the foundries so I look forward to the live foundry events coming up in October,… Read More
Dan and Mike are joined by Geoff Tate, founding CEO of Flex Logix. Geoff has a storied career in semiconductors that includes over ten years at AMD, ending as senior VP, microprocessors and logic. Following AMD, Geoff was founding CEO of Rambus, growing the company from four people to IPO with a $2 billion market cap.
As co-founder… Read More
