Looking forward to joining the Samsung Semiconductor Foundry event next week in San Jose ! 12-13 June. Let me know if you are at the event or around in the valley next week. It would be great to meet up and discuss Kudelski IoT's suite of on-chip security IP and cloud services for your next SoC design! There are numerous "top-line" use cases for system-on-chip security IP - for example ...compliance with automotive regulations, secure firmware over the air updates, to protect on-chip content such as LLM or even to securely enable new business models similar to the "on demand" access to chip functionality offering recently embraced by Intel for its Xeon processors. We also support a highly advanced and scalable cloud and SaaS device management and provisioning solution for dynamic in-field provisioning allowing you to dynamically update both the keys and certificates of deployed devices on an ongoing basis, thus protecting against evolving threats and compliance with evolving security requirements. #semiconductorsecuritysolutions

The #semiconductor industry is booming, but skilled engineers and technicians remain in short supply. Intel Corporation's innovative new apprenticeship program in Arizona is a fantastic step towards closing this gap. This is a big step forward for our industry, and allows for: 👉 Skills Gap Solution: Traditional methods aren't enough. Apprenticeships provide a win-win for individuals and companies. 👉 Building a Retentive & Diverse Workforce: 90% of apprentices stay with their employers, creating a more stable and inclusive talent pool. 👉 Future-Proofing the Industry: Programs like Intel's ensure the U.S. stays competitive in this critical sector. I'm moved by and applaud Intel's commitment to workforce development. This initiative exemplifies the critical collaboration needed to bridge the skills gap and empower individuals to thrive in the new economy. What are your thoughts on apprenticeship programs? Let's discuss in the comments! https://bit.ly/46lfrcK

This is a super interesting blog from Sundeep Bajikar, VP and head of corp. strategy for Applied Materials. We're all living in the biggest computing era yet (yup! bigger than the personal computer era and the mainframe era). The semiconductor industry and potentially the wafer fab equipment market will grow even faster. Why? Because AI and IoT are two sides of the same coin and new materials and exciting science will set the industry and the world up for success with AI. Read more to get some insights from Sundeep on this exciting growth market.

Intel Core Ultra 200S (Code named Arrow Lake S), The Value Conversation As the heart of the PC, the processor plays a critical role in determining the overall system performance as demonstrated in benchmark testing, but it also determines other features that bring value to the customer. With that, there are several key features available on a system based on the Intel Core Ultra 200S and Intel Z890 chipset that are worth highlighting to you customers. The Integrated NPU: - Along with the traditional CPU and GPU, the Intel Core Ultra 200S features an Integrated AI specific NPU that software vendors can leverage to optimize the AI capabilities they build in to their applications. By offloading certain AI centric tasks to the NPU, the CPU and GPU functionality can be better applied to not just maximizing AI performance but to also improving overall system performance. CUDIMM Support: The Intel Core Ultra 200S and Z890 chipset support Clock Unbuffered Dual Inline Memory which is a new DDR5 module that includes an integrated clock driver. This IC regenerates the clock signal to provide more stable performance at higher frequencies allowing for modules to run at 9200MT/s or higher to improve overall system performance in any workload. CUDIMMs are not a new form factor as they are 288 pin compatible with standard UDIMM slots so customers can use either CUDIMMs or standard UDIMMs but not both. More PCIe 5.0 Lanes: The Intel Core Ultra 200S has increased the number of PCIe lanes to include 20 PCIe 5.0 which provide up to 16GB/s throughput or double the bandwidth of PCIe 4.0. The additional PCIe 5.0 lanes can be leveraged by the motherboard manufacturers to allow for more features such as providing more PCIe 5.0 M.2 storage on the motherboard giving the end customer the ability to expand leading edge storage capacity. Thunderbolt 5.0: The Z890 chipset supports Thunderbolt 5.0 which delivers up to 80Gbps of bi-directional bandwidth and 160Gbps with Bandwidth Boost. This provides for better display quality supporting 8K resolution and reduces latency while working with increasingly larger video and data files. Being able to position the benefits of these technologies helps strengthen partnerships, directs conversations toward value and helps broaden discussions that will create opportunity for business growth.
