Security Power Requirements Are Growing


Determining how much power to budget for security in a chip design is a complex calculation. It starts with a risk assessment of the cost of a breach and the number of possible attack vectors, and whether security is active or passive. Different forms of root of trust and cryptography have different power costs. Different systems could require tradeoffs between performance and security, whic... » read more

2030 Data Center AI Chip Winners: The Trillion Dollar Club


At the start of 2025, I believed AI was overhyped, ASICs were a niche, and a market pullback was inevitable. My long-term view has changed dramatically. AI technology and adoption is accelerating at an astonishing pace. One of the GenAI/LLM leaders, or Nvidia, will be the first $10 Trillion market cap company by 2030. Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly improving in both capability and ... » read more

AI For The Edge: Why Open-Weight Models Matter


The rapid advancements in AI have brought powerful large language models (LLMs) to the forefront. However, most high-performing models are massive, compute-heavy, and require cloud-based inference, making them impractical for edge computing. The recent release of DeepSeek-R1 is an early, but unlikely to be the only, example of how open-weight AI models, combined with efficient distillation t... » read more

The Rise Of Generative AI On The Edge


Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have undergone significant transformations over the past decade. The revolution of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) is evolving toward the adoption of transformers and generative AI (GenAI), marking a pivotal shift in the field. This transition is driven by the need for more accurate, efficient, and ... » read more
