The support or use of AI (artificial intelligence) in electronics, including ML (machine learning), whether in software (supervised, unsupervised or reinforcement learning tools) or hardware (accelerators, GPUs, etc).
In the latest CHIIPs podcast, Thomas Andersen, vice president for AI and machine learning at Synopsys, shatters the threat of AI for design engineering jobs as he discusses the use of AI by the EDA industry. It will be most beneficial where there is reuse, he believes, outlining how AI can be taught a design, and self-learning will allow it ...
Replacing copper in semiconductor packaging with microLED optical links increases data rates and speed while resolving the issues of heat generation encountered by more traditional designs. Singapore’s NSC (New Silicon Corporation) exhibited its latest project at Asia Photonics Expo 2026. Using silicon nitride waveguides and micro LEDs to connect, for example a GPU and high bandwidth memory results in 32Tbps/mm ...

The $100 billion investment in OpenAI proposed by Nvidia is on hold, reports the Wall Street Journal. Jensen Huang revealed last week that last September’s MoU which proposed the $100 billion investment was non-binding and that Nvidia has doubts about going ahead with it. Huang has pointed to a ‘lack of discipline’ in OpenAI’s business approach and to the strength ...
FuriosaAI, the Korean AI IC startup, is shipping its first chip RNGD (Renegade). FuriosaAI has received the first delivery of 4,000 units from TSMC and ASUS, and the device is available either as a standalone PCIe card or a turnkey server. “With RNGD now shipping, we are giving enterprises the power to run the most advanced LLMs and agentic AI ...
A compact module based on the NXP i.MX 95 applications processor, the OSM-LF-IMX95, has been released by Tria Technologies. The 45mm x 45mm module complies with the Open Standard Module (OSM) specification 1.2 and is intended for embedded and edge AI systems. The NXP i.MX 95 SoC consists of a six-core 2GHz Arm Cortex-A55 applications processor and an 800MHz Cortex-M7 ...
Yesterday, Microsoft made the software for its Maia 200 chip – its second generation inference processor – available to developers. MS AI chief Scott Guthrie called the Maia 200 “the most efficient inference system Microsoft has ever deployed.” It is made on TSMC’s 3nm process. Developers, academics, AI labs and people contributing to open-source AI models can apply for a ...
The importance of voice AI and immersive audio in home entertainment, automotice infotainement and smartphones has led Cadence to announce its sixth generation of optimised DSP IP, the Tensilicia HiFi iQ DSP, which is purpose-built for on-device voice AI and audio. The latest addition to the HiFi DSP family is based on a purpose-built architecture designed and has double the ...
SambaNova, the AI company whose chairman is Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan (pictured) and which was in M&A talks with Intel at a valuation of $1.6 billion, is now seeking $300 million to $500 million in extra funding, reports Bloomberg.
