Cadence and Synopsis have both certified their AI-driven digital and custom reference flows, tools and solutions on Intel 18A-P and Intel 14A technologies, based on the latest Intel Foundry process design kits (PDKs).
The certifications will provide their customers with a signoff-ready path to deploy advanced AI, high performance computing (HPC), and mobile SoCs on Intel Foundry’s leading-edge nodes.
“As designers look for new ways to differentiate their products in this exciting era of AI, Intel Foundry’s collaboration with ecosystem partners such as Cadence will help our customers turn their most ambitious ideas into reality,” said Shawn Han, senior vice president and general manager, Foundry Services, Intel. “Through co-optimised, certified design flows and silicon-validated IP, we give our customers greater confidence that they can design on next-generation Intel Foundry technologies to achieve their specific power, performance and efficiency targets.”
The new certifications reinforce Cadence’s and Synopsis’ participation in the Intel Foundry Accelerator Ecosystem Alliance programs, where they are founding members focused on delivering robust design enablement for Intel Foundry’s advanced nodes and interoperable, scalable chiplet solutions. Together with Intel Foundry these companies are working to ensure that customers across AI factories, data centres, and mobile have access to signoff-ready flows, IP technologies that accelerate innovation.
“Angstrom-scale design is no longer only about extracting more power, performance, and area from a process node. It is about turning process innovation into predictable system-level outcomes. We applaud the Intel Foundry team for their progress on Intel 14A to expand the capabilities of advanced semiconductor manufacturing,” said Michael Buehler-Garcia, Senior Vice President at Synopsys.
“The next era of AI, HPC, mobile, and advanced systems innovation will be defined by how quickly customers can move from bold architectural ideas to reliable silicon,” said Boyd Phelps, senior vice president and general manager of the Silicon Solutions Group at Cadence. “Our expanded collaboration with Intel Foundry brings together Cadence’s AI-driven EDA portfolio, robust co-optimized certified flows and platform, silicon-validated IP, and advanced packaging flows with Intel‘s advanced process technologies, giving design teams a trusted, signoff-ready path to achieve their power, performance, and time-to-market goals on Intel 18A-P and Intel 14A.”
