Tech Vision: Synaptics Plots Plan for AI PC 'Edge'
AI’s infiltration of the PC is a fait accompli.
But how will AI affect everyday PC users?
Satish Ganesan, chief strategy officer and senior vice president of Synaptics’ Intelligent Sensing Division tells us, “There are two revolutions going on.”

Synopsys is entering a pivotal year , beginning with the announcement that it would acquire Ansys, an engineering and product design software firm, known for its Multiphysics simulation. The acquisition, valued at approximately $35 billion in a cash-and-stock deal, is among the largest tech deals in recent memory.
For Ghazi, the guiding principles behind this whopper of a deal couldn’t be clearer. Synopsis must transform from “silicon to system design.”
