Cadence Virtuoso Liberate Characterization Solution and Spectre Circuit Simulator Together Enable Accurate 14nm Logic Libraries SAN JOSE, Calif., March 17, 2015— Cadence Design Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) and Intel Corporation today announced that the two companies have delivered a 14nm (nanometer) library characterization reference flow for customers of Intel Custom Foundry, continuing their collaboration on enabling digital and custom/analog flows for the Intel 14nm platform. The library characterization reference flow is centered on the Cadence® Virtuoso® Liberate Characterization solution and Spectre® Circuit Simulator and enables accurate 14nm logic libraries

Chip Shot: ISSCC 2015 – Moore’s Law Delivers

Moore’s Law continues delivering and chip designers continue to make use of the ever more sophisticated technology. At this year’s International Solid State Circuits Conference, papers describe progress made possible by Intel’s leading 14nm process, including the first complete wireline transceiver on 14nm technology (60 percent smaller than the smallest comparable link) and the world’s smallest SRAM bitcell, reducing peak write power by 24 percent compared to actively biased circuits.
