As chip design is getting costlier and longer to develop, chip designers like AMD are turning to AI to optimize their spending and speed up time-to-market. By now, over 200 chip designs placed-and-routed using the Synopsys DSO.ai electronic design automation (EDA) software suit have been taped out and the number is growing rapidly.
“By the end of 2022, adoption, including 9 of the top 10 semiconductor vendors have moved forward at great speed with 100 AI-driven commercial tape-outs,” said Aart J. de Geus, chef executive of Synopsys at the most recent earnings call (via Yahoo! Finance). “Today, the tally is well over 200 and continues to increase at a very fast clip as the industry broadly adopts AI for design from Synopsys.”
