In a keynote at the Intel Developer Forum, CEO Brian Krzanich said the company would start making 14nm processors by the year end and confirmed intel would license SoC designs to be fabbed by other companies.

Imagination Technologies has developed an audio synchonization technology for WiFi networks that the company aims to license to consumer-audio chipmakers and OEMs.

Meeting focuses on advanced tools and techniques for the rapid development of gigascale ICs.

ARM has agreed to buy from Cadence Design Systems the display controller IP cores developed by recent acquisition Evatronix.

ARM and Synopsys both plan to make inroads to the internet of things with their IP strategies.

Taking place in Chelmsford, MA on 27 August, the conference will feature user-authored papers, tutorials, a designer expo and keynotes from Cadence and IBM.

Three companies have donated technology to Accellera designed to improve TLM 2.0 modeling work, focusing on interrupts, register control and memory maps.

Xilinx aims to be first of the FPGA makers to produce 20nm devices, expecting to move to production samples for some products by the end of the year.

To get others to adopt its GPU cores, Nvidia must quickly build partnerships with tool vendors and foundries that guarantee easy implementation.

Graphics chipmaker nVidia has said it plans to license as IP cores some of its technology in the hope of building up a customer base among other chipmakers and systems houses developing their own SoCs.
