The Delaware jury's decision in favor of Qualcomm marks a pivotal moment in semiconductor industry licensing practices. Several key elements drove this outcome. Technical testimony proved crucial, particularly Dr. Annavaram's clear distinction between architecture licensing and implementation, showing only 1% commonality between Arm RTL and actual implementations. This technical clarity helped separate Arm's legitimate Intellectual Property (IP) rights from overreach in claiming ownership of independently developed innovations. The evidence of Qualcomm's substantial investment—US$1.4 billion for the NUVIA acquisition and maintaining a 300-strong engineering team—demonstrated genuine independent development, rather than mere IP exploitation.

Making Data Centers Green in a Digital World
Sep 16, 2024 12:00:00 AM / by Rithika Thomas posted in Smart Buildings, AI & Machine Learning, Sustainability For Telco Markets
Data centers are the backbone of modern business and consumer applications, hosting vast amounts of information in the cloud. Everything from Artificial Intelligence (AI) use cases to online gaming platforms rely on data centers for proper data storage and management. As the world becomes more digitally native, data centers will generate higher Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and deplete more of Earth’s natural resources. This makes the need for green data centers all the more dire as governments race to meet global net-zero goals.
Jensen Huang Channels NVIDIA's Strength in Data Center/Cloud at COMPUTEX 2024
Jun 13, 2024 12:00:00 AM / by Paul Schell posted in AI & Machine Learning
NVIDIA's market capitalization continues its meteoric rise, largely driven by ever-growing data center revenue that surprises financial analysts time and again. NVIDIA's early bets on Artificial Intelligence (AI), followed by generative AI (via its cooperation with OpenAI), were winners, and this lends its charismatic CEO the confidence and, in many people's eyes, the legitimacy to define the future of computing. During his keynote at COMPUTEX, we heard again that the future will be “generative,” reducing the need to retrieve data stored in data warehouses around the world.
COMPUTEX 2024: AI Personal Computers (PCs) On Full Display
Jun 12, 2024 12:00:00 AM / by Paul Schell posted in AI & Machine Learning
With more than 80,000 visitors, this year’s COMPUTEX was, by far, the most attended in the history of the show. Traditionally, COMPUTEX is where the computer and information technology supply chain, notably Asian component and module suppliers, Original Device Manufacturers (ODMs), and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), exhibit their latest innovations to attract their customers to the latest innovation. While in the past, the show focused mainly on Personal Computers (PCs), laptops, the Internet of Things (IoT), and other consumer electronics technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI) dominated the show this year, targeting the entire stack from cloud applications to the far edge of the infrastructure and from consumer applications to the enterprise.
