The death of ASICs is greatly exaggerated
March 26, 2007
This week market research firm iSuppli reported that ASIC/ASSP design starts are continuing to plummet. According to the firm, there will be only 5,000 design starts this year, a 50% decrease from the levels seen in the mid-90's. Rival research firm Gartner has even grimmer number, projecting that there will be only 3,200 design starts this year.
