The Thermal Challenges of Moore’s Law: Part 1

https://www.rambus.com/blogs/the-thermal-challenges-of-moores-law-part-1/

Semiconductor Engineering editor in chief Ed Sperling spoke with Steven Woo, Rambus fellow and distinguished inventor, about the relationship between Moore’s Law, Dennard scaling and thermal challenges. As Woo notes, there is a “tug of war” between the benefits that Moore’s Law provides and the breakdown of Dennard scaling in 2005. “Systems now need to […]

Memory Systems for AI: Part 1

https://www.rambus.com/blogs/memory-systems-for-ai-part-1/

Written by Steven Woo for Rambus Press There has been quite a lot of recent news about domain-specific processors that are being designed for the artificial intelligence (AI) market. Interestingly, many of the techniques used today in modern AI chips and applications have actually been around for several decades. However, neural networks didn’t really take […]

Moore’s Law accelerates smart sensor evolution

https://www.rambus.com/blogs/moores-law-accelerates-smart-sensor-evolution-2/

Named after Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore, Moore’s Law observes that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years. According to Intel, the continuation of Moore’s Law means the rate of progress in the semiconductor space will far surpass that of nearly all other industries. In fact, the future […]
