real-world validation. Innovative STCO strategies can drastically reduce GPU peak temperature. As HPC and AI accelerators push power densities to 1kW and beyond, the heat generated by rapidly ...

PCI Express, commonly called PCIe, is the high-speed interconnect standard used to move data between key system components inside modern electronic systems. It connects processors, CPUs, GPUs, storage ...

Backside power delivery reduces routing congestion at the most advanced nodes and offers significant performance improvement options. But it also adds a bunch of new challenges involving via alignment ...

The AI revolution is significantly outpacing the IC industry’s ability to sufficiently test multi-chip systems for all necessary failure mechanisms at probe, final test, and system-level test. The ...

Over the past several decades, the semiconductor industry has experienced sustained growth. Early expansion was driven by the ...

The semiconductor industry is entering a convergence era where silicon, software, physics, packaging, security, AI, and power constraints all intertwine. Device scaling still matters but architecture, ...

AI is rocketing ahead. It is the biggest industrial revolution of our age. AI adoption is growing, but still most are at ...

We nod at it, we put it on slides, and we move on. But the goalposts keep moving. Things that used to live comfortably at the ...

This is what the software-defined vehicle looks like in practice. Fewer chips, more consolidation, and far more dependence on ...

For most of the industry’s history, the lever for semiconductor performance gains was process-node scaling. That is no longer the whole story. As one recent industry analysis put it, advanced ...

ChipAgents has introduced Renoir, an agentic large language model (LLM) whose name means “renew.” In early chip design ...
