DATE: Early shift to finFET processes challenges IP development strategies
An early shift to finFET processes is making developing IP libraries more challenging.

GlobalFoundries inks IP deals
GlobalFoundries has signed deals to let the foundry offer power-saving clocks, a massively parallel floating-point processor and interface IP from Rambus. They are "uncommon solutions" to come from a foundry, the company claims.
Low-power logic for steampunks
MEMS relay-based devices offer the ultimate in subthreshold leakage: they don't have any. Design and technology advances are promising to overcome problems with reliability, design and speed, according to Tsu-Jae King Liu of UC Berkeley.
