I think there are a lot of ECEs that work in software. A lot of my classmates from my EE undergrad went to software despite getting a more hardware centric education because software was offering more money. I imagine there are many people

My understanding is that it is ARM's parent company Softbank that stands to benefit rather than ARM looking to reinvest the money to fuel growth. ARM would benefit only slightly, as its employees have RSUs that the company said it woul

I read it more as, clients have a mix of questions. Clients don’t go through the system everyday and likely have some general worries and procedural questions as a result. Clients also have a case and need to coordinate with their lawyer. A

My understanding is that it is more a consequence of politics than the system... Sure you have a veto proof majority on this bill, but what about what comes next? The governor is able to stop "tyranny of masses" by their veto powe

True. That is part of the reason why only 3 of maybe 30-60 layers are that small. Analog gets some signal integrity benefits from larger transistors, and often we have fairly large fets for low rdson and high voltage tolerance.

TI's fabs are mainly focused on analog, so the requirements are a bit different. IIRC we have 3 130-65nm layers for digital in our mixed signal designs which is roughly on par with a the process technology Intel used in 2005.

Gasoline is maybe 5 dollars a gallon and contains some 35kwh of energy. When burning gas in an engine we don't get 35kwh [1], but that is what is there. Lets imagine we are building a gallon of gas with perfect efficiency. 35kwh is alr

I should have mentioned explicitly that: average power = capacity factor * max power Thus it is clear why nuclear is .9, it doesn’t vary much in its generation. The max is only a bit more than the average. Capacity factor is in some sense,

I believe that what is happening is that the rated capacity of a power plant is its maximum output times its capacity factor. Say we have a solar plant that produces a maximum of 1 GW in optimal conditions with a .15 capacity factor. This p

Yes and no. TSMC's process node gives some hard upper limit to what can be built, but whether you can make your design that compact is an open question. One consideration is that while we think of each transistor as individual and isol

Intel uses monolithic dies, meaning everything is on the same chunk of silicon. This has given them some improvements to latency[1] and power usage[2] in the past but hurt them on yields. AMD has a chiplet design, which improves yields[3] a
