Latest Industry Insights from Draup Braindesk
Algorithmic Chips
The general-purpose chips have improved sufficiently to grow up for a new generation of AI technology, as it has an exponential increase in the volume of data that AI systems process.
This has given rise to the advent of hardware-based acceleration via algorithmic-specific chips.
IoT-based Chip Architecture
The real-time data IoT will spew out, driving significantly into new chip architectures, materials, and areas like silicon photonics.
An increasing number of IoT devices will be armed with microcontrollers and analytics to make them less vulnerable.
Chip security
The deployment of IoT devices significantly expands the potential attack surface for increasingly sophisticated state and private cyber attackers.
The Meltdown and Spectre scandals of exposed chips’ weaknesses to cyberattacks.
In-house Design
The tech giants are abandoning traditional suppliers in favor of their proprietary designs. They will move from general-purpose processors to specific hardware focused on software and algorithm optimization. The tech giants will increasingly design chips in-house.
Chip Foundries
The key challenges for foundries are the increasing height of 3D stacked architectures deployed beyond Flash memories and standard functional chiplets designed into application-specific chipsets.
Foundries will benefit from the profusion of design-only companies for making their chips.
Key Funding Alert
TSMC approves USD 366 Mn in the capital appropriation for fab construction and installation of fab facility systems
This decision has come amidst inventory adjustments faced by the global semiconductor industry, making the Taiwanese capital appropriation plans crucial to watch closely. Notably, this latest capital appropriation plan is over 90% lower than the previous one approved in February, which was worth USD 6.96 billion. Read More>>
