Chips are back

1) VC funding has grown 8X since 2016
2) Apple, Amazon & Google have gotten into the act. Google’s YouTube has developed a chip to speed video encoding.
3) Even Volkswagen is developing its own processor to manage autonomous driving.https://t.co/YwHv4MX5GD
$12 billion in venture capital for semiconductors in 2020, up 2x from 2019 and 8x from 2016.

My guess would be that $8 to $9 billion of this went into startups trying to develop AI accelerators. ?https://t.co/XsCs6we76y
Let 100 chip design firms bloom, and let the chip fab oligopoly remain -- much less capex for chip design, many Chinese firms will be in the fray too. https://t.co/eooesmtUiJ

In fact, @synopsys is tracking more than 200 startups currently designing AI hardware. https://t.co/zbMxgXnXeb
Hardware is hot: "It’s a bloody miracle,” said Jim Keller, a veteran chip designer whose résumé includes stints at Apple, Tesla and Intel and who now works at the A.I. chip start-up Tenstorrent. “Ten years ago you couldn’t do a hardware start-up.” https://t.co/Uf3JrloRKf

Ditto for securing it. We need more hacker eyeballs on hardware https://t.co/UBdRoKxvDp

The pundits & politicians tell us we need a massive industrial policy to save US semiconductor innovation.

Meanwhile, while they spend the next few years arguing about it, amazing things are already happening no one predicted ... https://t.co/enRxM8bHR4
It's ironic that the biggest impact from the flood of VC $ into semis is that it made Nvidia run that much faster. The VC funded crowd has barely made a dent while NVDA has ~15xed their data center GPU biz.
