Cloud vs. Edge Gaming: Performance Gap Is Shrinking
By Liz Allan - 04 Sep, 2025 - Comments: 0

Chip designers and gaming companies are scrambling to figure out whether the gaming market will tilt toward the cloud, the edge, or some combination of both. Multi-gigabit internet allows more people to play high-end games in the cloud, but edge-based gaming consoles and devices remain well-rooted, more secure, and private. Which one wins? So far, there are more questions than answers. Handh... » read more

Security Requirements And Penalties Grow For Chipmakers
By Ed Sperling - 04 Sep, 2025 - Comments: 0

Governments and systems companies are fundamentally changing the rules around semiconductor security, forcing chipmakers and their suppliers to comply with tough new regulations that require resiliency in hardware. Unlike in the past, chips and systems deployed in these markets must be able to respond to threats rather than waiting for the next version of a chip or IP to address vulnerabilities... » read more

MACsec Fundamentals Securing Data in Motion: 2025
By Rambus - 03 Sep, 2025 - Comments: 0

For end-to-end security of data, it must be secured both when at rest (stored on a connected device) and when in motion (communicated between connected devices). For data at rest, a hardware root of trust anchored in silicon provides that foundation upon which all device security is built. Similarly, MACsec (Media Access Control) security anchored in hardware at the foundational communication l... » read more

Chip Industry Week in Review
By The SE Staff - 29 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 0

Microsoft, OpenAI, and NVIDIA warned about power swings and physical damage to power grids increasing from AI training workloads and jointly proposed a multi-pronged approach to stabilize power in AI training data centers. Meanwhile, Anthropic issued a warning about the weaponization of agentic AI in a new 25-page Threat Intelligence report. Key concerns involve the evolution in AI-assisted ... » read more

Maximize Uptime And Improve TCO: RAS And Telemetry In HBM4 For Data Centers
By Raj Uppala - 14 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 0

As AI workloads scale and data center operations become increasingly complex, it is critical to keep the infrastructure up and running. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is a key metric that includes not only the upfront cost of hardware but also the ongoing expenses of power, cooling, maintenance, and—most importantly—downtime. A single memory failure in a hyperscale AI cluster can cascade int... » read more

Reliable Training Data Paramount To AI Model Success
By Ann Mutschler - 14 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 0

AI systems are increasingly being integrated into safety- and mission-critical applications ranging from automotive to health care and industrial IoT, stepping up the need for training data that is reliable, secure, and which is generated from trusted sources. AI activity is growing exponentially, as everybody tries to figure out how to apply it to their domain, application, or workload. In ... » read more

Will New Processor Architectures Raise Energy Efficiency?
By Bryon Moyer - 14 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 1

Data centers continue to heat up as new processors consume more energy than ever before. Cooling is the primary weapon against the heat these processors generate, but it won’t be able to keep up forever with traditional processor architectures. New ones may be necessary. There are opportunities today to make well-known architectures more energy-efficient, but the number of options for subs... » read more

Scaling DRAM Technology To Meet Future Demands: Challenges And Opportunities
By Rambus - 13 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 0

Since the invention of the 1T1C bit cell more than 50 years ago, DRAMs have become the main memory of choice for processors in computer systems and many consumer electronics devices. As new use computing paradigms have been created, including 3D graphics, cloud computing, smart phones, and AI processing, specialized processors and DRAM memories have been developed that are optimized for these u... » read more

Accelerating The ASIL Journey For Chipmakers
By Adiel Bahrouch - 07 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 0

In the world of automotive innovation, safety is the silent partner riding shotgun. As vehicles evolve into complex, software-defined machines, the stakes for ensuring functional safety have never been higher. This is where ISO 26262 steps in—not as a mere checklist, but as a comprehensive framework that guides engineers through the intricacies of designing systems that won’t just perform, ... » read more
