Arteris Put a Tiny Internet Inside the Chip - Then Turned the Traffic Jam Into a Business
Modern chips are crowded cities, and the roads now matter as much as the buildings. Arteris turned that traffic problem into a licensing business used across more than 4 billion chips and chiplets - while learning that connectivity alone was no longer enough.
The AI Chip Company Betting the Future Won't Fit Inside One GPU
Tenstorrent is building AI computers from small, networked pieces - then opening the software so developers can see how the machine works. The wager is simple: in a market organized around one dominant GPU stack, flexibility can be a product.
AMD Is Building the Everything Chip Company
The old Intel understudy now sells CPUs, GPUs, adaptive chips, networking and software as one connected system. Its next test is whether an open stack can win the most expensive race in computing.
Intel
The company that built the microprocessor is trying to build something harder: a second act. Inside Intel's bet-the-house pivot from selling chips to making everyone else's.
Debbie Marr
Dr. Debbie Marr is the co-founder, CEO and President of AheadComputing, a Beaverton, Oregon startup building high-performance 64-bit RISC-V CPU cores. A former Intel Fellow and Chief Architect of Intel's Advanced Architecture Development Group, she spent 33 years shaping processors from the i386 era to modern Core and Xeon chips, served as server architect of the Pentium Pro, turned Hyper-Threading from concept into shipping product on the Pentium 4, and was chief architect of the 4th Gen Core (Haswell). She holds a PhD from the University of Michigan, more than 40 patents and 30+ published papers, and in 2024 left Intel with three fellow architects to prove that open architectures can deliver top-tier performance because, in her words, everybody deserves better compute.
