called “May you live in interesting times …”, starting with “the view from the top” at Synopsys. At the time, my focus was abstraction levels and how the industry has been moving upwards for decades. While it is not a Chinese proverb after all (read my blog above), we still do live in interesting times, perhaps more so that ever.

However, foundry and memory customers are showing great restraint with respect to spending plans, limiting the rate of new node transitions and overall capex upside. In the near term, we see no evidence of meaningful equipment orders to support high-volume finFET... <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626094429/http://semiengineering.com/the-week-in-review-manufacturing-15/">» 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/20140626094429/http://semiengineering.com/the-power-of-edram/" title="The Power Of eDRAM">The Power Of eDRAM</a></h2> <div class="loop_post_meta"> By <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626094429/http://semiengineering.com/author/barry-pangrle/">Barry Pangrle</a> - 16 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 1 - <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626094429/http://semiengineering.com/category/blogs-lphp/" title="View all posts in Blogs - LPHP">Blogs - LPHP</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626094429/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/20140626094429/http://semiengineering.com/category/blogs-lphp/power-architect-blogs-lphp/" title="View all posts in Power Architect">Power Architect</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/the-power-of-edram/" addthis:title="The Power Of eDRAM"></a> </div> </div> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/the-power-of-edram/" addthis:title="The Power Of eDRAM"> <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/the-power-of-edram/" addthis:title="The Power Of eDRAM"></a> <a class="addthis_button_linkedin" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/the-power-of-edram/" addthis:title="The Power Of eDRAM"></a> <a class="addthis_button_google_plusone" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/the-power-of-edram/" addthis:title="The Power Of eDRAM"></a> <a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/the-power-of-edram/" addthis:title="The Power Of eDRAM"></a> </div> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> In last month’s article we looked at different aspects of technology nodes and the multiple techniques that are used to keep scaling on its path of increasing density.
