According to the wisdom of French philosopher Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose,” or “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” This adage holds significant relevance in the fast-paced world of the semiconductor industry. Currently, the industry is undergoing a profound technological shift fueled by diverse applications that mandate intricate custom chip designs.
Ground-breaking technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous vehicles, edge processing and chiplets are triggering an avalanche of advancements in the semiconductor market. Pioneering technologies are paving the way for high-growth markets, maintaining a competitive edge for products and driving the demand for increasingly sophisticated systems-on-chips (SoCs) to power burgeoning applications.
As a result of design complexity and market competition, innovative chip development strategies have become essential for expedited market entry and revenue growth. Tapping into these technological advances is a strategic imperative to secure market leadership.
