The Semiconductor World vs TSMC vs EDA
September 3, 2009
In my previous blog on the EDA CEO panel at #46DAC, I was very disappointed to hear some of the smartest men in our industry agree that the only way to increase semiconductor design enablement (EDA) revenues is to increase overall semiconductor revenues. Talk about a complete lack of respect for the innovative people who support them, when in fact executives like themselves, and even themselves, continue to minimize this industry through irresponsible pricing practices (Smorgasbored Pricing), thoughtless litigation (CDNS vs AVNT, MENT vs CDNS, SNPS vs LAVA), and egocentric behavior, which results in a colossal failure of common sense.
