Open-Silicon Update: 125M ASICs shipped!
As you all know I am a big fan of the ASIC business model. It was critical in the transformation of the fabless semiconductor industry and still plays a critical part in our success. In fact, the ASIC business model is leading the way for systems companies to make their own chips. Remember, Apple started with the ASIC business model through Samsung for their first iPhone SoCs that transformed the world, absolutely.
In 2015 Open-Silicon celebrated the shipment of their 100M ASIC and now less than two years later they are over 125M spread amongst 300+ designs. More importantly, their defective parts per million average (DPPM) is 30, resulting in very low RMAs. 30 DPPM is an excellent number for the ASIC business by the way. The DPPM ASIC numbers I have heard in the past were much higher.
