In the AI era, the biggest costs in an SoC project often come from execution, driven by hidden costs that build up when IP is sourced piece by piece from multiple vendors. At advanced nodes, re-spins, integration delays and missed tape-out dates can put millions of dollars at risk. This eBook explains how a single, integrated Foundation IP platform reduces that risk and helps lower TCO. The solution includes silicon-proven logic libraries, embedded memories, IOs and NVM, and it’s backed by IP + EDA co-optimization and one support team. Using modeled examples from HPC and Edge AI SoCs, it shows how predictable execution can lead to significant savings, from avoided re-spins and schedule slips to measurable power, performance and area (PPA) gains.
You’ll learn:
Why execution risk now drives SoC cost at advanced nodes
The hidden costs of sourcing Foundation IP from multiple vendors
How an integrated IP platform helps lower TCO through faster tape-out, first-pass silicon success and confident node-to-node scaling
How avoiding a single re-spin or schedule slip can save millions on an advanced-node SoC
How PPA gains can translate into measurable savings across HPC and Edge AI designs
