Oh man, the Austin TX design group...
- williadc 11y agoSofia was primarily done by the formerly-Infineon team in Germany, though the Austin team was merged with that group. Broxton was designed in Oregon and Malaysia.
- osivertsson 11y agoGeographically seperated teams, is that normal when developing successful smartphone SoCs? Or does it in general work as good as developing software at multiple sites? I remember working with ST's IPTV chips that were designed all over Europe, and bugs that involved the interaction between muliple hardware blocks were a disaster to get support on.
- williadc 11y agoI've never worked on a successful smartphone SoC, so I couldn't tell you. I have worked on successful client parts (Haswell, Broadwell, Apollo Lake) that were similarly separate and we were able to divide the work sufficiently to make the multi-geo effort work.
