For Chip Developers, HW/SW Co-Design Key To Data Center Efficiency
By Liz Allan - 31 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

Data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) are the primary enablers of today’s power-hungry AI-driven technology, but chip designers, EDA vendors, and the data centers themselves have a long list of options available to them to help curb AI's power consumption. Chip designers play a critical role in ensuring energy efficient processing from the bottom up, whether that is hardware-so... » read more

Blog Review: July 30

Siemens' John McMillan compares 2.5D and 3D-IC technologies and why choosing between them depends on the specific requirements of a product, such as power consumption, thermal constraints, form factor limitations, data bandwidth, and performance-per-watt targets. Cadence's Yeshavanth BN checks out changes in MIPI MPHY 6.0 that increase the data rate and improve the performance of next-genera... » read more

Blog Review: July 23

Synopsys' Vincent van der Leest and Mike Borza argue that hardware security is critical for providing the foundational trust, physical protection, and performance enhancements necessary to support software security and prevent leaks of sensitive data and cryptographic keys. Siemens' Shetha Nolke explains why stress matters so much in 3D-ICs and why evaluating it isn't as straightforward as i... » read more

Chip Industry Week in Review
By The SE Staff - 18 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

The U.S. government will grant licenses to NVIDIA and AMD to again sell some AI chips — NVIDIA's H20 GPU and AMD's MI308 — to Chinese companies. TrendForce projects that the availability of NVIDIA chips, in particular, will create a surge in demand from Chinese AI firms and cloud service providers, and boost high-bandwidth memory (HBM) consumption. The move could raise China’s share of... » read more

Scaling Real-Time Visitor Ingestion And ML Inference
By Peter Ma - 17 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

When SiteMana onboarded a large new publisher, our infrastructure load increased exponentially overnight. Each visitor page view flowed directly into our real-time ingestion pipeline. This rapid traffic caused CPU credits to quickly exhaust on our AWS x86-based t3.medium instances. As a result, performance was throttled at the exact moment we needed stability most. We quickly realized our syste... » read more

Synopsys' Bradley Geden and Manoz Palaparthi explain the difference between functional signoff and RTL signoff and why increased SoC complexity means that verification flows must now capture both the intent and the integrity of a design before it can move forward. Cadence's Frank Ferro finds that LPDDR isn't just for mobile devices anymore, with the new LPDDR6 standard bringing increased ban... » read more

Report: The AI Efficiency Boom
By Arm - 16 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is undergoing a fundamental transformation. While early AI models were large, compute-heavy, and dependent on cloud processing, a new wave of efficiency-driven innovations is moving AI inference—the generation of model results—to the edge. Smaller models, improved memory and compute performance, and the need for privacy, low latency, and energy efficiency are dr... » read more

Silicon IP Revenue Spikes
By Ed Sperling - 15 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

EDA and silicon IP revenue grew 12.8% in Q1 2025, totaling $5.098 billion compared to $4.522 billion in the same period last year, but the real story was on the IP side, surging 29.6% year-over-year to $1.577 billion. Drilling deeper into those numbers, revenue for non-reporting IP companies — predominantly Arm — jumped 34.1% YoY to $1.031 billion. That was positive news for the IP marke... » read more

Data Center CPU Dominance Is Shifting To AMD And Arm
By Geoff Tate - 14 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

Fig. 1: Created by ChatGPT from a text prompt. The data center processor market has seen two major tectonic shifts in the last decade. It used to be that all data center compute was x86, and well more than 90% of that was Intel. GPUs first appeared in the data center in 2016 (Pascal GPU). Now, the majority of computation is done on GPUs. AMD is looking to pass Intel in x86 share, and... » read more

Chip Industry Week in Review
By The SE Staff - 03 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

[Editor's Note: Early edition due to the U.S. July 4th holiday.] The U.S. government lifted export restrictions that barred Synopsys, Siemens EDA, and Cadence from selling EDA tools to China. In a statement, Synopsys said it received a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department immediately rescinding those restrictions. Siemens issued a similar statement. Which tools or hardware accelerated t... » read more
