Ceva thinks devoting two processors to one workload is unsustainable.
What is the reality of the AI chip market today? In recent years, this market was over-hyped to the point where many of us became sceptical.

At a recent press event, Richard Kingston, Vice President of Market Intelligence, Investor and Public Relations at Ceva, pointed to Nvidia’s share price as a good indicator of where we are in the hype cycle. Nvidia, a leader in the AI silicon market, experienced a significant fall in price around the start of 2019. Kingston suggested this means we have exited the hype stage and moved on to a stage where the market begins to more accurately reflect reality.
