Expanded Cadence-Intel Foundry collaboration delivers silicon-proven digital and custom design enablement, advanced packaging support, and power delivery-optimized flows for AI, HPC, mobile, and future aerospace apps

By dqindia.com

Cadence's AI-driven digital and custom reference flows, tools, and solutions are now certified on Intel 18A-P and Intel 14A technologies, based on the latest Intel Foundry process design kits (PDKs).

Building on the companies' recent expansion of design IP optimized for Intel 18A and 18A-P and their multi-year Design Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) agreement targeting Intel 14A, this new certification provides customers with a signoff-ready path to deploy advanced AI, high performance computing (HPC), and mobile SoCs on Intel Foundry's leading-edge nodes.

Cadence has worked closely with Intel Foundry to co-optimize tools, flows, and methodologies that fully leverage the innovations in Intel 18A, Intel 18A-P, and Intel 14A, including RibbonFET gate-all-around transistors and advanced backside power delivery technologies such as PowerVia and PowerDirect.
