Chiplet Architecture for AI Will Create New Demands for Assembly
05/28/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineAs we look deeper into the entire AI ecosystem, it becomes clear that AI algorithms are intensely hungry for compute power. This demand for compute resources is accelerating beyond the customary rate predicted by Moore’s Law, just as traditional semiconductor fabrication methods are failing to maintain Moore’s Law. It’s a real dilemma.
