Complex Mix Of Processors At The Edge
By Liz Allan - 18 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 1

With AI changing so fast, it’s a juggle for companies to ensure they can deliver the best performance now while also future-proofing for unknown AI models or a completely different approach to training and inference that may emerge. There are a slew of options for high-end and budget phones, hyperscalers, and low-cost, low-power edge devices, and while GPUs keep making headlines, many designe... » read more

Physical AI Chip Sales Won’t Rival GenAI Anytime Soon
By Geoff Tate - 11 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 0

Fig. 1: When can we send our humanoid to pick up some milk at the store? Source: ChatGPT image There has been a lot of talk about physical AI, much of it very optimistic. Physical AI is happening, but more slowly than many expect. It will not rival GenAI soon. We’ll analyze humanoids, fully autonomous vehicles, then all application-specific robots (ASRs), ending with a rough estimate ... » read more

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) applications are driving increased demand for high-performance, low-power memory solutions across consumer, medical, and industrial markets. These applications require efficient, Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) to process, store, and retain large volumes of data, as well as support frequent Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) updates. In the consumer... » read more

Agentic AI: Lots Of Little Black Boxes
By Ed Sperling - 07 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 0

AI is changing so quickly that it's not always clear how much of a security threat it poses for semiconductor design, and that uncertainty increases as AI agents are introduced into the mix. So far, the use of AI in chip design has been highly targeted. Most of what is included in design tools is some version of machine learning, bounded by tight control loops. EDA and IP vendors, large chip... » read more
