SOC At Apple: Evolution Through Innovation (IET Eng Talk)
John Metcalfe, senior director in Apple’s silicon engineering group and Jonathan Redshaw, Director in Apple’s platform architecture team took to the stage at the IET London:Savoy Place for the IETEngTalk series lecture. They spoke about how developments in silicon fabrication techniques are allowing Moore's law to remain relevant within the chip design industry. However, the need to increase performance and power efficiencies will always be present and described how consumer features that were once part of a console, through innovations, are now seen as part of chip architecture itself, such as machine learning, smart sensing, security and multi bus requirements - the chip itself is becoming the mother board ! It’s this rate of quality innovation that allows us to have better virtual reality…
