This week...a report from the Linley Conference, traditionally a gold mine of intelligence about where the processor market is going. Also, after one of the flakiest no-shows in high-tech history, secretive startup Groq finally speaks. And, we have a conversation with MEMS specialist and futurist Peter Hartwell, chief technical officer of TDK InvenSense.

This week, we discuss the film “The Current War,” and the race between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse to light up the world in the 1890s. Also, video has been captured the same way for more than 125 years. But modern electronics is making it possible to capture and display video in an entirely new way. We’ll talk about the French company that is doing it.

Tesla Motors, automotive features, vehicular gimmicks, and the weird eagerness among some people to be lab rats for Silicon Valley companies. Also,India has quietly developed world-class expertise in semiconductor design. We talk with Sanjay Gupta, the person leading NXP’s semiconductor operations in India about India’s aspirations for developing a domestic semiconductor industry. And … researchers have employed machine learning techniques to train an artificial intelligence to figure out for ...

This week — we attended a conference hosted by Arm Holdings and report on what we learned about the what's next for circuitry technology. Also, the big data deluge, and how to make sense of it all. And, we’re reasonably sure that by the time people turn 16 years old, they’re mature enough to begin operating a motor vehicle. Shouldn’t we consider doing something similar for autonomous vehicles to, you know, verify they’re mature enough to drive by themselves?

This week, packaging chips in the most advanced systems. There are no rules anymore and we’re going to sort it all out for you. Also, conducting business in the Trump Era. It’s beginning to look like the Court of the Sun King. And, there’s growing enthusiasm for going to Mars. We’ll be talking about getting there, which is one thing; but, we’ll also be talking about getting back, which is another thing altogether.

Sub-retinal chip, tracking down intransigent parking malefactors, and voice control! We sent not one, but two EE Times editors to the annual MEMS & Imaging Sensors Summit in Grenoble last week and we’ll hear from them about what they saw in France. Also this week, connecting the Internet of things — we have a discussion with advocates of Wi-Fi and LoRaWAN on how those two wireless protocols will complement each other.

There are a lot of good reasons to NOT send all of our conversations off to the cloud, but we do it anyway because it’s significantly cheaper to do in the cloud. But what if there were some unexpected, inexpensive alternative for doing voice processing at the edge? Also, we’ll examine reliability in complex systems, and for that we’re going to revisit the Boeing 737 Max, two of which crashed earlier this year. And, we’re also going to revisit autonomous vehicles and driving safety. When it com...

The AI Hardware Summit in Silicon Valley. This year’s edition did not go as planned. Also, the semiconductor industry is, of course global. India has an ambition to build a thriving semiconductor industry, building on the companies based there that have been designing chips for many, many years. Does the country have the infrastructure to make good on its ambitions? And, we have a report from the Frankfurt Motor Show, traditionally one of the biggest shows of the year in the automotive industr...

All of the elements of the 5G consumer business are coming together. Network operators are building out infrastructure to expand 5G cellular coverage in more markets. What’s needed next is a wider variety of 5G smartphones. Huawei, Qualcomm, and Samsung – three of the most important manufacturers of integrated circuits for smartphones – all happened to announce new 5G silicon last week. We talk about what was announced and where 5G goes from here. Artificial intelligence is being used to power ...
