Moore’s Law is Dead–Chiplet redefines semiconductor industry

Moore’s law is dead sounds death of a king. By the way, why should we be concerned with this? The Economics of cramming more components onto an integrated circuit gave…

As Chiplet technology core trades off performance for cost, it will unlikely fuel reinvention of IDMs to regain their glories

Chiplet Technology — a weak reinvention core?

In the race to increase chip density, integrated device makers (IDMs) like Intel and AMD have lost to TSMC. To regain the lost glory, they have been desperate. To overcome…

Upon failing to move to latest process nodes, IDMs are after chiplet--raising question of winning, surviving or dying?

Chiplet–for IDMs’ winning, survival or death?

Upon losing the process node battle to the foundry leader TSMC, IDMs like Intel, AMD and others are after Chiplet. Does it sound unfair? Or, is Chiplet a new technology…

Semiconductor industry growth is underpinned by personalities, new waves, and specialisation--instead of state interventions like subsidies, restrictions and protections

Semiconductor Industry Growth–personalities, new waves, and specialisation underpin

Billions of dollars in subsidies and strict regulations are being rolled out to build and strengthen the semiconductor industry. But are they enough to competitively fabricate tiny building blocks (chips)…

Instead of making for import substitution, India's semiconductor dream demands creating flywheel effect out of the flow of ideas--for making chips increasingly better and cheaper

India’s Semiconductor Dream–pushed in the slow lane?

India’s semiconductor imports grew from $45.3 billion in 2017 to $54.87 billion in 2021. This import growth trend will likely reach US$ 80 billion by 2026 and US$ 110 billion by 2030.…

Is China's Semiconductor Independence a premature move, making it an easy target to get destroyed?
