Chip Industry Week in Review


[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
