Segars: In the context of design and where chip design is going, ARM is a long-term business. We’re doing stuff now that is going to ship in five years’ time. Obviously, for everyone in this space, Moore’s Law has been a fantastic thing. It’s enabled us to achieve really fantastic scaling of transistors, and everyone knows that is getting harder and harder... <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626112933/http://semiengineering.com/executive-insight-simon-segars/">» read more</a> </div> <br/> <hr/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="loop_post_title_wrapper"> <h2 class="post_title_a"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626112933/http://semiengineering.com/executive-insight-hossein-yassaie/" title="Executive Insight: Hossein Yassaie">Executive Insight: Hossein Yassaie</a></h2> <div class="loop_post_meta"> By <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626112933/http://semiengineering.com/author/esperling/">Ed Sperling</a> - 28 May, 2014 - Comments: 1 - <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626112933/http://semiengineering.com/category/low-power-high-performance/" title="View all posts in Low Power-High Performance">Low Power-High Performance</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626112933/http://semiengineering.com/category/top-stories/" title="View all posts in Top Stories">Top Stories</a>, </div> </div> <div class="post_excerpt"> <div class="social_sharing"> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"> <a fb:like:layout="button_count" class="addthis_button_facebook_like" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/executive-insight-hossein-yassaie/" addthis:title="Executive Insight: Hossein Yassaie"></a> </div> </div> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/executive-insight-hossein-yassaie/" addthis:title="Executive Insight: Hossein Yassaie"> <a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a> </div> </div> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"> <a class="addthis_button_email" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/executive-insight-hossein-yassaie/" addthis:title="Executive Insight: Hossein Yassaie"></a> <a class="addthis_button_linkedin" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/executive-insight-hossein-yassaie/" addthis:title="Executive Insight: Hossein Yassaie"></a> <a class="addthis_button_google_plusone" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/executive-insight-hossein-yassaie/" addthis:title="Executive Insight: Hossein Yassaie"></a> <a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/executive-insight-hossein-yassaie/" addthis:title="Executive Insight: Hossein Yassaie"></a> </div> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> SE: What concerns you looking out at the semiconductor industry?

The best way to tell that is to find out where the development dollars are going, and foundries and tools always precede actual designs. The foundries are starting to spend money—lots of it—on finFETs and 28nm. And while they’re talking about 2.5D and 3D, the money isn’t going there just yet.
