Chip Design Trends BiAnnual Report "The Slowing of Moore's Law and its implications on the Chip Design market" - Now Available!

Key Findings Include:

  • Pre-Silicon design investigations grew by 18% compared to a year ago
  • New design activity surged in Europe, followed by increases in the Asia-Pacific region and relative flat growth in North America
  • Use of semiconductor IP continued to increase, with analog-mixed signal and digital-core IP showing the largest segment growth - up by 35%!
  • Hot markets include communications, data processing and industrial-medical.
  • Overwhelming evidence supports the slowing of Moore's Law:
    • Tracked complexity metrics (like die size, clock speed, process node etc.) are less than would be expected under Moore's Law
    • Semiconductor industry is functioning at eight active process nodes versus the historical four nodes.
    • The "Design Gap" of the '90's is now the "Manufacturing Gap" of the 00's - i.e., the productivity boost from EDA tools is less than would be expected.
    • Extremely high cost of capitalization of bleeding-edge fabs.

Basis of Report:

  • Over 44,000 unique worldwide and regional pre-silicon design investigations
  • Analysis and forecasting of key chip design metrics including power, die size, clock speed, analog vs. digital IP, metal layers, technology nodes, memory vs. age and much more

Available Now

Discount Price Available until April 30th: $1,950 (One Issue); $2,950 (Two Issues). Multiple copy discounts and site licenses available upon request.
