I Fought the Law and the Law Lost: Moore’s Law, Dennard Scaling & RISC-V

on YouTube ↗14m

" summary

Moore’s Law and Dennard scaling have stopped and cost per transistor rises, so architectural innovation becomes the lever. Codasip’s Studio EDA plus an architecture license enable ISA and microarchitecture tweaks that yield big wins: a Microsemi audio core runs ~56× faster for slightly less power and avoids a costly node shrink; a TensorFlow Lite handwriting demo runs ~5× faster in smaller area; Mythic integrates 76 customized cores, halves development time and ships in volume.
