Check out our new Inside Chips podcast. President Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs were announced this week. The executive order stated that semiconductors and copper imports are not directly subject to the reciprocal tariff, although the exemption may be short-lived. Semiconductor equipment and tools were not mentioned, leaving the industry searching for clarification. Regardless, hig... » read more

Challenges In Managing Chiplet Resources

By Ann Mutschler - 27 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

Managing chiplet resources is emerging as a significant and multi-faceted challenge as chiplets expand beyond the proprietary designs of large chipmakers and interact with other elements in a package or system. Poor resource management in chiplets adds an entirely new dimension to the usual power, performance, and area tradeoffs. It can lead to performance bottlenecks, because as chiplets co... » read more

Achieving Lower Power, Better Performance, And Optimized Wire Length In Advanced SoC Designs

By Andy Nightingale - 27 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

In system-on-chip (SoC) design, wire length refers to the total physical distance of interconnects within a network-on-chip (NoC). It is a critical parameter that influences performance, power consumption, and manufacturing costs. Today’s SoCs incorporate numerous IP blocks connected by multiple complex NoCs and require efficient management of wire lengths. Excessive wire length increases lat... » read more

Semiconductor industry energy consumption grew 125% between 2015 and 2023, while direct greenhouse gas emissions rose 23% in the same period, according to the Europe think tank Interface, which analyzed corporate social responsibility reports from 28 global chip manufacturers. CSIS' new report "Understanding U.S. Allies’ Current Legal Authority to Implement AI and Semiconductor Export Cont... » read more

Optimizing Data Movement In SoCs And Advanced Packages

By Ed Sperling - 18 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

The amount of data that needs to move around a chip is growing exponentially, driven by the rollout of AI and more sensors everywhere. There may be hundreds of IP blocks, more compute elements, and many more wires to contend with. Andy Nightingale, vice president of product management and marketing at Arteris, talks about the demand for low-latency on-chip communication in increasingly complex ... » read more

Verification Experts Vs. Generalists

By Ann Mutschler - 05 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: As chips and systems become more complicated, more verification tasks get abstracted. So do we need more specialists who are experts in specific tasks, or do we need more generalists who know how to use the tools but don't necessarily have the depth of understanding? Or do we need some way to balance both? Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of experts, includi... » read more

Intel said its new fab in Licking County, Ohio will be delayed due to financial struggles and a need to align chip production with market demand, reported the Columbus Dispatch. Construction is now estimated to be completed in 2030, with operations to start in 2030 or 2031. The company said it already has invested $3.7 billion locally. Apple plans to invest more than $500 billion in the U.S... » read more

Lines Blurring Between Supercomputing And HPC

By Ann Mutschler - 27 Feb, 2025 - Comments: 1

Supercomputers and high-performance computers are becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate due to the proliferation of AI, which is driving huge performance increases in commercial and scientific applications and raising similar challenges for both. While the goals of supercomputing and high-performance computing (HPC) have always been similar — blazing fast processing — the mark... » read more
