The Future Of SoC Design Is Data Movement
By Andy Nightingale - 25 Sep, 2025 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry is experiencing rapid advances in chiplet adoption, high-bandwidth memory, Compute Express Link (CXL) fabrics, and automotive zonal architectures. As we move into the second half of 2025, the only sustainable path forward is a layered, physically aware, and automated interconnect methodology that can keep pace with escalating complexity. This article is Part Two of... » read more

Benefits And Challenges Of Using Chiplets
By Ed Sperling - 24 Sep, 2025 - Comments: 0

The move to chiplets opens the door to more features than can be packed into a reticle-sized SoC. That potentially means more processing power, simpler designs, and higher yields. But it's not as simple as swapping LEGO blocks into a chassis. Ashley Stevens, director of product management and marketing at Arteris, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about the challenges of using coherent versu... » read more

System Integration With Standards-Based Automation
By Insaf Meliane - 31 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

Today’s semiconductor designs support a broad range of applications, from mobile and edge devices to AI accelerators and data center systems. To keep pace, design teams are shifting from monolithic systems-on-chip (SoCs) to increasingly complex multi-die and chiplet-based architectures. These heterogeneous systems often incorporate IP developed at different times, by different teams, or sourc... » read more

Accelerating IP Reuse
By Ed Sperling - 23 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

Semiconductors are no longer monolithic designs developed by a single company. There is more third-party IP from different sources — as many as 1,000 different IPs in a complex SoC — and all of that needs to be integrated and work as one system, something that can require a lot of effort and time. Insaf Meliane, product management and marketing director at Arteris, talks about how the new v... » read more

Designing The AI Factories: Unlocking Innovation With Intelligent IP
By Reela Samuel - 17 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the technological landscape, driving unprecedented demands on computing infrastructure. At the heart of this transformation lie innovations in intellectual property (IP) that enable scalable, efficient, and performance-driven AI factories. These advancements are central to addressing the technical challenges of modern AI workloads... » 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

The Coming NPU Population Collapse
By Steve Roddy - 12 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

At some point in everyone’s teenage years of schooling we were all taught in a nature or biology class about cycles of population surges and then inevitable population collapses. Whether the example was an animal, plant, insect or even bacteria, some external event triggers a rapid surge in the population of a species which leads to overpopulation and competition for resources (food, space, s... » read more

Trapped By Legacy
By Steve Roddy - 15 May, 2025 - Comments: 0

At Quadric, we do a lot of first-time introductory visits with prospective new customers. As a rapidly expanding processor IP licensing company that is starting to get noticed (even winning IP Product of the Year!) such meetings are part of the territory. Which means we hear a lot of similar-sounding questions from appropriately skeptical listeners who hear our story for the very first time. Th... » read more
