Welcome to the Wonderful World of NoCs
Anyone involved in the design of large digital silicon chips is familiar with the term Network-on-Chip (NoC), but relatively few people are cognizant of the underlying concepts.
Getting to the Bottom of Backside Power Delivery
The expected early adopters of Backside Power Delivery (BPD) are also early users of multi-die advanced packaging and chiplets. But the two technologies — BPD and chiplets — may not play well together. So, what to do?
Intel-Samsung Foundry Union is a Non-Starter
Intel and Samsung are iconic enterprises in their respective nations. A union of their foundry operations, just so they can better compete against TSMC, is nonsensical. It will face huge political hurdles and is highly improbable.
Arm vs. Qualcomm Marks the End of an Era
Throughout its evolution Arm made a point for never competing with its customers. But taking Qualcomm to court – win or lose – is a form of competition, and marks the end of an era for what Arm used to stand up for.
