SILICON BOX’s Post

This is an interesting Post - many problems in converting the simple idea of Chiplets to Scale cost effectively. That is why YorChip exists in the first place - it is to enable the Chiplets to enable customers to design their own chips from Chiplets. Hence the name YourChip which we shortened to YorChip!! #chiplets #SOC #ethernet #PCIe #ASIC #lowcost #interconnect #UCIe

Intel and Arm create the Emerging Business Initiative to help startups bring their bold ideas to life. Intel and Arm have signed a memorandum of understanding that finalizes the Emerging Business Initiative, their collaboration to support the startup community. The initiative builds on the April 2023 multigeneration agreement to enable chip designers to build low-power compute system-on-chips (SoCs) on the Intel 18A process. Together, the companies will provide essential intellectual property (IP) and manufacturing support, while also making financial assistance available, to foster innovation and growth for startups developing a range of devices and servers built on Arm-based SoCs and manufactured by Intel Foundry. The Emerging Business Initiative was announced last month at Intel Foundry Direct Connect in San Jose, California. #Iamintel #Intelfoundry #IAmIntel

A fundamental issue, such as connecting a #chiplet to another #chiplet, turns into such multi-layered problems. Startups like Blue Cheetah Analog Design, Inc., Eliyan Corporation, and YorChip Inc -- are tackling the complexity of #dietodie #interconnects from different angles. How will they work? And what happened to the ultimate dream of #Lego like #interaoperability among #chiplets? Do we forget about it? Tenstorrent Elad Alon

The #chiplet landscape is taking shape and high-performance #interconnect will be key. Solutions for both advanced packaging #interposers as well as standard packaging will drive adoption forward. Junko Yoshida The Ojo-Yoshida Report does her usual stellar job of unpacking the topic. #NuLink #PHY #UCIe #BoW #UMI

With 2 days to go to the largest gathering of investors, innovators, and entrepreneurs in Southern California, excitement is brewing for Sameer Wasson's keynote session, "IP as the Catalyst for Future Semiconductor Growth," at TechCon SoCal. As the CEO of MIPS, Wasson is poised to deliver valuable insights into the role of intellectual property (IP) in driving innovation and growth within the semiconductor industry. Attendees can anticipate an engaging exploration of how IP strategies are shaping the future landscape of semiconductor technologies. In the current landscape of semiconductor development, Wasson will shed light on the pivotal role that intellectual property plays as a catalyst for innovation and growth. With the semiconductor industry experiencing rapid evolution and increasing competition, effective IP strategies are essential for companies to differentiate themselves and stay ahead of the curve. Wasson's session promises to provide valuable perspectives on how leveraging IP assets can fuel advancements in semiconductor technologies and propel industry growth in the years to come. Reflecting on the past, Wasson will trace the historical significance of intellectual property in shaping the trajectory of the semiconductor industry. From the early days of semiconductor innovation to the present era of complex microprocessor designs and advanced semiconductor architectures, IP has been a driving force behind technological progress. Wasson's retrospective analysis will offer insights into key milestones and challenges in the intersection of IP and semiconductor development, providing attendees with a deeper understanding of the industry's evolution.

Well deserved. ComputeRAM IP ( In-Memory-Compute) is available on GF22FDX and getting significant customer traction. TinyML test case demonstrates the latency & efficiency advantage of ComputeRAM.

Which nations are most innovative? Find out! Most people would say: The US. Is that still true? Measured by startups, yes. But there is more to innovation. An important indicator is research and patents. Who is leading here? 💹 𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀: - ~3.5 million patents were filed globally in 2022 - China accounted for 46.8% - Most active: Huawei, Samsung, Qualcomm - US leads in Computer Technology - China in Digital communication Total patent activity grew by 40% in the last 10 years with China leapfrogging ahead.

I have finally delved into this year's "100 Silicon Startups Worth Watching in 2024," recently published by EE Times | Electronic Engineering Times. One insight from Peter Clarke in his preface is the interesting shift in the geographical distribution of these top 100 companies. While there's a slight decline in California and North American representation (is it real?), the most striking changes are the sharp decrease in Chinese companies and the meaningful rise in European entries. Peter attributes the Chinese decline to trade tensions: "#China continues to have high levels of startup activity, but its reduced presence on the Silicon 100 reflects the trade tensions between the U.S. and China. That friction has intensified in recent years and has hit a number of Chinese startups that may have had international aspirations but have been denied access to leading-edge silicon out of foundry TSMC." #Europe, on the other hand, has seen an increase from 23 to 29 startups, with the U.K. leading the charge: "The U.K. has 12 startups on the current list, up from nine startups in version 23. The U.K., with longstanding entrepreneurial bases in Cambridge, Oxford, Bristol, and Edinburgh, has enjoyed strong representation for many years." In my view, this growth is a testament to #Europe's robust academic system, coupled with government support, investments, and incubators like Silicon Catalyst.UK. Israel continues to excel: "Israel has always punched way above its weight by population and continues to do so," with its representation growing slightly from 7 to 8 this year, including NeuReality*, POLYN Technology, NeoLogic*, Speedata.io, Pliops, Chain Reaction Ltd.*, Hailo, .Quantum Machines . (*=new additions to the 2024 list). This list provides a good overview of this dynamic and evolving industry, blending both emerging and more established technologies. It's a must-read for anyone interested in the future of #semiconductor #innovation. For the full list: https://lnkd.in/dgfrNUWX
