Do CXL and OMI compete, or are they complementary? Its' complicated.

Two weeks complete at @TechInsights /Microprocessor Report. It's a fast ride! I'm covering edge AI processors and automotive SoCs. So if you have any juicy technical announcements in those areas, hit me up!

[Bryon Moyer @MoyerTechTalk]

New types of chip tests are improving quality and creating opportunities for optimizing test cost.

Is it possible to verify a new silicon chip against side-channel attacks before the chip is manufactured?

(3/3) This also means that I'll officially not be doing any side freelance work - not even a little. I'll be keeping my website open, although it has a note about the continued hiatus. My other site, https://t.co/3dk8Z8VdAT, still remains open.

Looking forward to new adventures!

[Bryon Moyer @MoyerTechTalk]

(2/3) It's been a good couple of years with @SemiEngineering, and I wish Ed and the team lots more success in the future.

[Bryon Moyer @MoyerTechTalk]

(1/3) And so I start a new chapter. As of Monday, I will be a member of the @LinleyGroup team, performing technical analysis and publishing in The Microprocessor Report and other Linley pubs and events.

Engineers are working hard to reduce power in the components within data centers. So... will data-center power ever come down, or will it grow forever?

We know that we now have to take semiconductor aging into account, but what causes chips to age? And why now?

Machine learning hardware needs software for implementing algorithms. Will it follow the same path as FPGAs?

Both MEMS sensors and in-chip monitors promise preventive maintenance. Do they compete? Or can they be used together?

Electronic systems need security, and security means hardware roots of trust, and those can benefit from PUFs, and PUFs need entropy. And there are new PUF entropy ideas afoot...

Coherent photonics is increasing bandwidth while lowering power. But can that work within the data center?
