2005-06-02	In Corrigan's wake, whither LSI Logic? As Wilfred J. Corrigan handed over the titles of president and chief executive officer of LSI Logic Corp. to his reportedly hand-picked successor, Intel's Abhi Talwalkar, last week, industry watchers were assessing Corrigan's legacy even as they pondered the future of the company he founded 24 years ago
2008-12-03	Future looks bright for China's IP market At the SoCIP2008 Seminar and Exhibition, EE Times-China spoke with Mon-Ren Chene, S2C chairman and CTO, about his views on China's and the world's semiconductor IP markets today and their future.
2014-04-22	FPGAs must shape up to accelerate growth The rocketing ASIC mask-set and NRE costs have not yielded a surge of FPGA designs, but have rather driven engineers to resort to older technology nodes to mitigate the cost issues. Considering this and the standing Moore's Law concern, the FPGA outlook does not appear so bright.
2006-04-03	FPGAs consumed by power issues Power issues charged up the recent FPGA 2006 symposium, and for good reason—many observers see high power consumption as perhaps the biggest factor limiting wider usage of the devices.
