The Future of Chip Design: Key Trends, Challenges and Innovations in Semiconductors
Semiconductor development is one of the most dynamic industries in history. Change is constant, stemming from evolution in underlying technologies and architecture, punctuated by the occasional revolution, such as the recent focus on AI. For this post, I’m focusing on five key aspects of change in chip design that we are seeing widely in our user base. If you’re facing challenges related to these trends, I’ll let you know how we can help. AI Is Everywhere You can’t pick up a newspaper (literally or digitally) these days without seeing AI in the headlines. The rapid increase in capabilities and the potential for the future are astounding. Even if your only interaction with AI is getting more focused search results, you can appreciate how much has changed so quickly. As engineers, we understand more about the hardware and software technology that makes the capabilities of AI possible, and these are impressive as well. With AI affecting almost every aspect of our lives, it is not su...
