A Curated List of Semiconductor Bloggers

 


It’s been challenging to find top semiconductor blogs that actually add value. If you Google this, you get a very long list of corporate blogs, optimized for search engines. It is time consuming to filter that list and actually find blogs that have interesting content. I decided to make it easy for everyone by creating a list of top semiconductor bloggers and Twitter handles. you will find some of them here on LinkedIn.

Note: I do not have any association with any of the bloggers.

These folks write a lot about processors - CPUs and GPUs. Persons behind this blog are unknown - we only know of Nexus and Clamchowder

https://semiaccurate.com/ This site mainly focuses on processors as well. Charlie Demerjian is the main writer/co-founder along with other writers

Semianalysis, started by Dylan Patel, this blog does deep dives into semi technologies business and operational strategies. 

Fabricated Knowledge, started by Doug Mule, this blog excels in long form primers and deeply researched articles written from an investment perspective.

Jim Handy, is a well known semiconductor analyst and writes about memory and storage here. His latest April Fools post was a riot too.

Sravan Kundojjala is a business analyst par excellence, doing deep dives into various semiconductor business - with numbers, no less.

Follow Siliconmemes for commentary on markets and semiconductor stocks.

RetiredEngineer tweets a lot about Intel, AMD, TSMC, Samsung and semiconductor manufacturing

Dr. Ian Cutress talks about semiconductor technology, processors, memory and software

Witeken is an Intelophile and has a boatload of insightful tweets. Is also a freelance writer for Tom’s Hardware. 

Up next is a list of EDA and Semiconductor IP bloggers and Tweeters.

The Truth About Semiconductor Services Company Acquisition Prices

Image
No one knew or forecasted that the market for semiconductor design engineering talent worldwide would get red hot and stay that way for the past few years. There are multiple reasons why this is happening of course and my goal is to not delve into that. Most experienced people that have been a part of the ups and downs of the previous semiconductor cycles believed that the current situation would ease out in a few quarters. That assumption has not born fruit. As a result, large semiconductor services providers started looking at acquiring smaller players to add optionality to their operations - growing headcount and expanding their footprint across multiple geographies became the new corporate strategy.  Let's look at the deals over the past few years: A note to my non-Indian readers - I have used Crores as a unit of money prevalent in India. A Crore is equivalent to 10 Million. If you are looking to convert this into US $, you should multiply the number in Crores by 10 and then di

New US Sanctions on Chinese AI/ML and Semiconductor Industry and its Impact on India

Image
The Joe Biden administration recently announced a new round of sanctions on China in an attempt to choke off access to AI and Semiconductor technologies developed by US and allied companies.  Will these sanctions affect India? My thoughts below: Let's first look at the sanctions at a high level. If you want details, this report by Gregory C Allen of CSIS does a phenomenal job. Additionally, a  Wall Street Journal article , and a Twitter thread by Jordan Schneider, an analyst at  @rhodium_group   on China and technology sheds light on the fate of American executives working in Chinese AI and Semiconductor companies.  From the CSIS report: t he policy first disclosed on September 1st this year was incomplete.  On October 7th, t he Biden administration announced a massive  policy shift  on semiconductor exports to China as well as  revised rules  for how the lists of restricted parties are managed. The revised rules require Chinese entities to obtain a license, under a presumption of

Board Farms - A Precursor to Remotely Managed Factories?

Image
Image Source: Prpl Foundation I initially got interested in board farms because a client of mine, Softnautics , is working with several companies to build and develop the software infrastructure required to run such farms. As I started looking for reading material on the web, it wasn't easy to find a page that explains what a board farm is in simple terms. There exist a number of amazing sites like elinux.org  that curate lists of products, software repositories and tech presentations intended for the power users. My intention here is to only provide an introduction to this topic and not delve into the details. Readers that have a deeper interest can explore other resources further. First a bit of history. Here's an intro from the Prpl Foundation .  Mike Anderson here, an Engineer at Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. We recently posted a new open source project to Github that I’m pretty excited about, called boardfarm.  It was created two years ago, and has been used daily to automaticall
