NVIDIA, ASML, TSMC and Synopsys—Set Up Next-Gen Chip Manufacturing
Semiconductor leaders embrace NVIDIA breakthrough in computational lithography as the industry drives toward limits of physics.
Chip Technology, Geopolitics, and the CAD Industry
The global semiconductor industry is going through landmark tidal shifts that will impact all software. We review the scene and its implications on the platforms and devices and possible impacts on the CAD industry.
Apple’s new M1 Pro is “Chop” version of M1 Max Die (?)
Mark Gurman’s Jade C-Chop and Jade C-Die codenames bear out in new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips for Apple. But the strategy seems odd if true but could work out well if the chopped section works up against the wafer perimeter.
Xpresso #31—Chip Technology, Geopolitics and the CAD Industry
The chip industry (semiconductor industry) is going through large-scale tidal shifts in design architecture and manufacturing leadership.
