Tape-out Risk in the Age of Edge AI: The Case for GPU IP

A full SoC tape-out at 5nm approaches $400M in fully loaded, non-recurring engineering and mask costs. At 3nm, estimates push past $600M. Every IP block on that die is a commitment to a set of assumptions about what the silicon will need to do. In AI, those assumptions have a shorter shelf life than they used to.

Imagination Demonstrates DirectX Gaming on D-Series GPUs

A GPU IP block with robust DirectX support solves a critical problem for new hardware designers: it removes a barrier to entry for Windows markets. Without it, even the most capable silicon cannot run mainstream PC games or enterprise workloads. In short, it makes your solution relevant to the largest graphics software base in the world.

What Does a GPU Have to Do With Automotive Security?

The automotive industry is undergoing the most significant transformation since the advent of electronics in cars. Vehicles are becoming software-defined, connected, AI-driven, and continuously updated. This evolution brings extraordinary new capability – but it also brings greater levels of cybersecurity and functional-safety risks.
