GPU Or ASIC For LLM Scale-Up?
By Geoff Tate - 17 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

The CEOs of OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI share a strikingly similar vision — AI's progress is exponential, it will change humanity, and its impact will be greater than most people expect. This is more than just speculation. The market for AI, and its value, are real today: A human developer with GitHub CoPilot codes 55% faster with AI. GPT-4 scores 88th percentile on the LSAT vs. 50t... » read more

Memory Wall Problem Grows With LLMs
By Katherine Derbyshire - 20 Feb, 2025 - Comments: 0

The growing imbalance between the amount of data that needs to be processed to train large language models (LLMs) and the inability to move that data back and forth fast enough between memories and processors has set off a massive global search for a better and more energy- and cost-efficient solution. Much of this is evident in the numbers. The GPU market is forecast to reach $190 billion in ... » read more

Universities Augment Engineering Curricula To Boost Employability
By Liz Allan - 05 Feb, 2025 - Comments: 0

Increasing numbers of universities are offering semiconductor courses in their engineering programs, and also in math, physics, and business degrees. Most universities now offer a broad foundation so students can pivot to other industries during cyclical downturns, or when technology and science create entirely new and potentially lucrative opportunities, such as generative AI, advanced pack... » read more

The new Trump administration was quick to put a different stamp on the tech world: President Trump rescinded a long list of Biden’s executive orders, including those aimed at AI safety and the mandate for 50% EVs by 2030. Roughly 1.3 million EVs were sold in the U.S. in 2024, up 7.3% from 2023. The new administration announced $500 billion ($100 billion initially) in private sector in... » read more

Global IC Fabs And Facilities Report: 2024
By Liz Allan - 21 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

The chip industry made significant capital investments this year to build new fabs and facilities or expand existing premises. A number of sites were dedicated to SiC, GaN, DRAM, HBM, along with packaging and assembly by OSATs, and essential gases, chemicals, and other components. More than a dozen R&D centers were also established for 8-inch wafers, EUV, and advanced packaging. Investments... » read more
