Since then, this manufacturing approach has been adopted by the automotive industry, and it has only grown in importance as the sector transitions to electric vehicles. Given the role semiconductors play in today’s vehicles, and will play in the future, it is no surprise ... » read more

Taking Data Center Serviceability To The Next Level
By Nozar Nozarian - 10 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

It is no secret that Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads are driving an exponential growth in the scale of supercomputers and data centers. Training the latest LLM (Large Language Model), for instance, typically requires thousands of specialized processing cores running at full speed. As these models get more advanced with each generation, they need additional compute performance to absorb a... » read more

How The Semiconductor Ecosystem Is Responding To Its Global Challenges
By Jeorge Hurtarte - 10 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry is changing rapidly, with government support for re-shoring capacity creating new interplay among resources in Asia, the U.S., and Europe—even as the industry develops and sustains new technologies like HBM and heterogeneous integration. Geopolitical factors such as the CHIPS (Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors for America) Act, the scarcity of s... » read more

From Mobile Phones To Robotics: How The Industry Continues To Drive Innovation
By Keith Schaub - 10 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

I recently had the opportunity to host Pierre Cambou, Principal Analyst for Global Semiconductors at Yole Group, on the Advantest podcast. What struck me about our conversation was while we focused on what was going on in the mobile market, the entire talk was reflective of the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and how technology can drive intense cycles of innovation. As Pierre ... » read more
