The Rising Price Of Power In Chips
Power is everything when it comes to processing and storing data, and much of it isn’t good. Power-related issues, particularly heat, dominate chip and system designs today, and those issues are widening and multiplying.
Transistor density has reached a point where these tiny digital switches are generating more heat than can be removed through traditional means. That may sound manageable enough, except it has created a slew of new problems that require the entire industry to solve — EDA compani...
