Jeff Bier's Impulse Response - The Rise of Licensable Cores
January 28, 2011
Ten years ago, I wrote about how licensable processor cores were beginning to play a more important role in the industry. Among other trends, I observed that large chip companies were beginning to adopt licensable cores for application-specific chips such as cellphone baseband SoCs, rather than using proprietary cores that they developed in-house. This trend has certainly strengthened over the past ten years.
