Welcome to the Wonderful World of NoCs

Welcome to the Wonderful World of NoCs

Anyone involved in the design of large digital silicon chips is familiar with the term Network-on-Chip (NoC), but relatively few people are cognizant of the underlying concepts.
Getting to the bottom of Backside Power Delivery

Getting to the Bottom of Backside Power Delivery

The expected early adopters of Backside Power Delivery (BPD) are also early users of multi-die advanced packaging and chiplets. But the two technologies — BPD and chiplets — may not play well together. So, what to do?
Intel-Samsung Foundry Union is a Non-Starter

Intel-Samsung Foundry Union is a Non-Starter

Intel and Samsung are iconic enterprises in their respective nations. A union of their foundry operations, just so they can better compete against TSMC, is nonsensical. It will face huge political hurdles and is highly improbable.
Arm vs.Qualcomm Marks the End of an Era

Arm vs. Qualcomm Marks the End of an Era

Throughout its evolution Arm made a point for never competing with its customers. But taking Qualcomm to court – win or lose – is a form of competition, and marks the end of an era for what Arm used to stand up for.

With this “Anatomy of Software” Panel, we zoomed in on the “S” in “SDV”.

TSMC Won the Foundry War. Now the Fallout Begins

The company that won the foundry war finds itself with no close competitor and the opposition in disarray. Will TSMC have to help its rivals become competitive to fend off anti-trust regulators and avoid pressure from Western governments?
Chiplets: 'Kluge' or answer to OEMs' automotive SoC dilemma?

Chiplets: ‘Kluge’ or Answer to OEMs’ Automotive SoC Dilemma?

Chiplets are already a reality for high-performance compute semiconductors in data centers. In contrast, when will carmakers start craving auto-grade chiplets— ? at prices OEMs can afford?
The Future of Chiplets

The Evolution and Future of Chiplets

Everyone is talking about chiplets and making plans to use it in various ways, but questions persist about what it is. We give a breakdown of what came before and what you can expect as chiplets proliferate.
