Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash The design and development of an AI Chip is not an easy process. More so when the cost is high while the use cases are limited. It thus makes the process of selecting requirements for an AI Chip a critical one. These requirements for
Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash Lately, several AI-driven silicon chip solutions have showcased the benefits of utilizing the semiconductor chips designed and manufactured for the AI application. It is also evident based on the several new XPUs being AI-compatible, which is possible only by combining the best features of
Photo by John Jemison on Unsplash Developing new consumer and enterprise technology requires a new type of semiconductor technology, ranging from design, raw materials, equipment, packaging, fabrication, manufacturing, and many more segments of semiconductors. These technologies developed are called semiconductor enabling technology. Enabling technology brings a new type of semiconductor
Photo by Robert Ruggiero on Unsplash The development of new technology always leads to new types of data. Processing varying and vast amounts of data require computer architecture. These architectures balance the latency and throughput to ensure the user experience is not compromised. And to enhance the user experience, the
Photo by Harrison Broadbent on Unsplash Semiconductor companies not only design silicon devices but also (directly and indirectly) power different types of embedded systems. These systems (smart devices, laptops, servers, etc.) cater to consumer and enterprise electronics. And to validate new ideas or prototypes, embedded systems play a crucial role.
Photo by Dan Cristian Pădureț on Unsplash The semiconductor industry is all about value creation for the business dependent on it. This value is primarily due to Moore’s first law-driven semiconductor product that brought several generations of computing solutions. And, to ensure the value creation process continues forever, More-Than-Moore solutions
Photo by Andrew Gook on Unsplash The semiconductor market is highly volatile. Positive or negative demand significantly impacts the end-to-end supply chain. Avoiding scenarios requires equilibrium of supply and demand, which is difficult to achieve due to the several variables of the semiconductor supply system. Even with several variables like
Photo by Glen Carrie on Unsplash New silicon-powered products should have advanced features. These features also have to differentiate from the existing ones. Otherwise, the probability of success in the market will be very low. On the opposite side, the new semiconductor technology development is slowing down due to the
Photo by Luan Gjokaj on Unsplash Semiconductor products are struggling to meet the demand to balance power, performance, and area requirements. The challenge to enable efficiency is increasing while there is also a need to meet new technological requirements without adding bottlenecks. Such challenges are slowly becoming impossible tasks whereby
Photo by Brett Jordan on Unsplash The government of several countries has realized the need to establish a semiconductor ecosystem that can cater to computing needs for decades to come without relying on external factors. In doing so, several new policies and acts are getting approved with the sole purpose
Hi, I am Chetan Arvind Patil (chay-tun – how to pronounce), a semiconductor professional whose job is turning data into products for the semiconductor industry that powers billions of devices around the world. And while I like what I do, I also enjoy biking, working on few ideas, apart from writing, and talking about interesting developments in hardware, software, semiconductor and technology.
