In #SNUGIsrael's second keynote presentation, Google’s Uri Frank explained why the AI-era silicon challenges are much different than we had in the past. For start, AI models require a x10 speedup in compute power every year, much more than Moore's law.   Therefore, the current design flow that requires an average of 3 years for a new major device won’t cut. By the time these chips are ready, the workloads they were planned for are no longer relevant! Uri said that an #evolution won’t be enough- like the #AI-based small improvements offered by the EDA vendors. We need a #revolution - we must define new ways of designing chips:  “What if designing a custom chip took a few people a few weeks?” he asked. Synopsys Users Group (SNUG)

One of the most pressing conversations in tech right now is around the #AI ecosystem. To fully ride the AI wave, you need not only AI hardware, but also software — and that’s why the Intel Core Ultra processors in our Lenovo AI PCs have been optimized to support over 100 AI-ready applications. A true “AI PC” is not solely hardware nor software — it’s the synthesis of both. That’s the only way users will be prepared for what’s coming next.

The SEMI Smart Data-AI initiative is one of many trailblazers setting the standard for digital transformation in the microelectronics industry. Their mission? To harness the full potential of the Data-AI revolution and drive the industry toward a $1 trillion future. This isn't just lip service—they’re building a collaborative community, sharing knowledge, launching proof-of-concept projects, and creating the standards that will define the industry's future. By bringing together government, industry, and academia, they’re accelerating system innovation and fostering a virtuous cycle of tech advancements that will produce more powerful chips and, ultimately, a more prosperous future. Yet, SEMI Smart Data-AI is just one player in a broader movement to establish best practices, paving the way for digital transformation that benefits not only the industry but society as a whole. Every breakthrough brings us closer to a world where AI becomes a transformative force, reshaping industries and lives alike.

The Chip Insider®   Nvidia’s Grand Strategy Summary:   In his keynote at Computex 2024 last week, Jensen Huang proclaimed to a cheering crowd, “We are in a new Industrial Revolution.” As everyone knows, Jensen’s strategy for Nvidia shifted from … But his grand strategy is far more encompassing than the vision of the AI Revolution. The Industrial Revolution made the transformation to making things with machines that had been made with human hands. The AI Revolution takes this transformation to the next step by making things with machines that could only be made with the human mind. But this is only a vision – not a strategy. One cannot monetize a vision without a strategy. Watching Jensen’s keynote, I realized he has a grand strategy based on Cochrane’s Theorem of the Technology Treadmill, which is what my college thesis used to develop a semiconductor cost model that showed economic underpinnings of why fab tool costs would rise with Moore’s Law …      “Strategy requires a sense of the whole that reveals the significance of respective parts.”                                              – John Lewis Gaddis For subscribers to The Chip Insider®, the full write-up can be found here: https://lnkd.in/g6w8YDec Copyright © 2024 TechInsights Inc.
