In this episode of the Semiconductor Insiders video series, Dan is joined by Dr Greg Law, CEO of Undo, He is a C++ debugging expert, well-known conference speaker, and the founder of Undo. Greg explains the history of Undo, initially as a provider of software development and debugging tools for software vendors. He explains that… Read More
A recent survey of more than 120 anonymous semiconductor professionals offers a grounded view of how the industry is evaluating non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies—and where things may be heading next.
The 2024 NVM Survey, run in late 2024 and promoted through various semiconductor-related platforms and portals including… Read More
As SemiWiki celebrates our 14th anniversary I wanted to wish you all a happy New Year! Working in the semiconductor industry for the past 40 years has been rewarding beyond belief. Working in the trenches and traveling the world has been an education in itself, more so than any other career that I could imagine. SemiWiki has broadened… Read More
A response to Daniel Nenni’s “What’s Wrong with Intel?” article, which invited alternative views.
At the risk of calling down the forecast universal opprobrium, I’m going to disagree with Dan’s take on the centrality of Intel.
I don’t agree that Intel is too big/important to fail or that the US can’t succeed in semiconductors without… Read More
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
WIth packaging being one of the top sources of traffic on SemiWiki, I am expecting a big crowd at this event. A semiconductor substrate is a foundational material used in the fabrication of semiconductor devices. Substrates are a critical part of the manufacturing process and directly affect the performance, reliability, and… Read More
In the rapidly changing landscape of technology, the semiconductor industry serves as a cornerstone, fueling innovation across multiple sectors. Central to this industry is the semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP)—a vital component that frequently escapes public attention and is instrumental in determining the future… Read More
The theme of this year’s DAC was Chips to Systems which is a full circle type of thing since systems companies used to make their own chips. Old school computer companies were the biggest chip makers when I started in the semiconductor industry. IDMs like Motorola and Intel replaced them at the chip level. Shortly after I joined… Read More
This year’s live semiconductor ecosystem conferences have been well attend and I expect the same for #61DAC next week. I will be at the conference from Sunday afternoon to Wednesday evening, if you would like to meet let me know. Networking is an important part of the semiconductor ecosystem so let’s make it happen.… Read More
