EETimes On Air: Risking RISC-V, Engineers & The Gig Economy, Chiplets

BRIAN SANTO: I’m Brian Santo, EE Times Editor in Chief, and you’re listening to EETimes on Air. This is your briefing for the week ending June 14th.
Today we’ll be talking about… RISC-V, a free and open processor architecture. We examine the potentially profound consequences RISC-V might have for the smartphone market… We’ll also be talking about engineering education. We’ve heard about the need for STEM education, but the required skillset for engineering has expanded in unexpected ways. We’ve also got a report on chiplets. With Moore’s Law coming to an end, one way to compensate might be to create a system whereby manufacturers can assemble a microprocessor from a set of processor subsystems– chiplets.
