The Week in Review: IoT
By Jeff Dorsch - 19 Aug, 2016 - Comments: 1

Technology The Internet of Things got some attention at this week’s Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich introduced the Joule compute module in his opening-day keynote address. The module is a high-performance developer platform supporting Intel RealSense depth-sensing cameras. Canonical, Microsoft, and PivotHead were among the IDF exhibitors demonstrating the Jou... » read more

Preparing For 5G
By Jeff Dorsch - 09 Aug, 2016 - Comments: 0

If you like 4G LTE, you’re going to love 5G. The next-generation wireless communications technology will offer faster data transmission speeds and lower latency, providing the processing power to drive augmented-reality and virtual-reality applications for mobile devices and dedicated headsets. There is a caveat, though. The world needs to develop a consensus on what the 5G spectrum wil... » read more

Roots Of Distrust Spread
By Ed Sperling - 21 Jul, 2016 - Comments: 0

For most of the history of semiconductors there has been a persistent fear that someone would steal intellectual property from one company and sell it to another. There have been innumerable lawsuits involving corporate secrets that cross from one company to the next, and from one country to the next. The biggest concerns always were at the leading edges of technology, where those secrets w... » read more

5 Takeaways From Semicon
By Mark LaPedus - 21 Jul, 2016 - Comments: 0

As usual, the recent Semicon West trade show was a busy, if not an overwhelming, event. The event, which took place in San Francisco in early July, featured presentations on the usual subjects in the semiconductor and IC-equipment sectors. There were sessions on 200mm, next-generation processes, transistors, lithography, MEMS and many others. In no particular order, here are my five ta... » read more

Waiting For 5G Technology
By Mark LaPedus - 23 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 1

For some time, carriers, equipment OEMs and chipmakers have been gearing up for the next-generation wireless standard called 5th generation mobile networks, or 5G. 5G is the follow-on to the current wireless standard known as 4G, or long-term evolution (LTE). It will enable data transmission rates of more than 10Gbps, or 100 times the throughput of LTE. But the big question is whether 5G wil... » read more

Plotting The Next Semiconductor Road Map
By Ed Sperling - 13 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry is retrenching around new technologies and markets as Moore's Law becomes harder to sustain and growth rates in smart phones continue to flatten. In the past, it was a sure bet that pushing to the next process node would provide improvements in power, performance and cost. But after 22nm, the economics change due to the need for multi-patterning and finFETs, and th... » read more

DAC Day Two: Down To Business
By Brian Bailey - 07 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 0

DAC day two started with a breakfast presentation put on by Synopsys which included guests from ARM, TSMC and HiSilicon. It was titled Collaborating to Enable Design with the latest processors and finFET processes. Collaboration is a word that we hear increasingly when talking about the advanced nodes and today we are truly at the point where one company cannot do it all. Ron Moore, VP of ma... » read more

The Numbers Game
By Jeff Dorsch - 02 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 1

Industry executives making presentations on the Internet of Things often cite the famous estimate by Cisco Systems – 25 billion connected devices in 2015 will double to 50 billion connected devices in 2020. Also, the worldwide IoT market will grow 21% a year to $7 trillion by the end of this decade, according to IDC. Billions and trillions are at stake. Many chip companies, especially I... » read more

Automating System Design
By Ann Mutschler - 02 May, 2016 - Comments: 1

Change is underway in the chip design world, creating opportunities and challenges that reach far beyond questions about whether Moore’s Law is slowing or stopping. Never before in the history of semiconductors has design been so complex and sophisticated, and never has it touched so many lives in so many interesting ways. This is all happening as a result of the chip’s enabling role in ... » read more
