TSMC at the 2015 Imagination Summit: optimized silicon IP for the IoT market

By Alexandru Voica - Imagination Blog, Sept. 30, 2015 – 

A few months ago, Imagination and TSMC joined forces to announce their ongoing collaboration around production of highly-optimized IP subsystems for multiple markets, including smart sensors, connected audio, video analytics, automotive, mobile and beyond.

At our 2015 Imagination Summit in Taiwan, we were delighted to welcome on stage Dr. Simon Wang, Senior Director of Business Development for the world-renowned Taiwanese foundry. Wang presented an overview of the semiconductor technologies currently available from TSMC for the Internet of Things market and shed more light on the collaboration between the two companies.

Wang kicked off the keynote presentation with a bold but factual statement: IoT will become the next big phenomenon to drive industry growth and technology advancement. Analysts are still working out the exact numbers, but the latest predictions place total shipments of connected devices at around 50 billion products in 2020; this connected category includes everything from PCs and smartphones to IoT products.
