SoC Costs Cut by Multi-Platform DesignJB's Circuit - John BlylerJun. 05, 2012 |
Upward SoC cost trend blunted as designers reused software, verified IP and fewer blocks, reports long-time EDA analyst Gary Smith.
During last year’s Design Automation Conference (DAC), EDA-veteran analyst Gary Smith predicted that it cost slightly over $75 million to design the average high-end System-on-Chip (SoC). This was way over the $50 million targeted by IDM-fabless companies and even further from the $25 million start-up level preferred by funding institutions.
