At JEENOCT , we continuously monitor global technological advancements and are committed to driving progress in the automation field through innovative technologies. Recently, we took note of an inspiring industry development: TSMC, in collaboration with chip design leaders like Cadence and Synopsys, is leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize the chip design process, aiming to improve the energy efficiency of AI computing chips by nearly 10 times. This breakthrough not only demonstrates the power of technological convergence but also strongly aligns with our own explorations in digital SMT integration and non-standard automation.
Below, we provide our perspective as an industry participant, unpacking this milestone event.
At a recent industry conference in Silicon Valley, TSMC, the world's leading semiconductor foundry, showcased its new AI software-driven chip design strategy.
Currently, high-performance AI chips (such as those in NVIDIA's flagship servers) can consume up to 1,200 watts during heavy computational tasks – equivalent to the electricity usage of 1,000 average U.S. households. This high energy consumption has become a critical bottleneck hindering the further development of AI.
TSMC's solution integrates AI algorithms with advanced packaging technologies (like multi-chiplet packaging). It uses software simulation to optimize transistor layout, precisely reducing redundant power consumption. Concurrently, Cadence and Synopsys have introduced customized AI design tools that significantly shorten design cycles while enhancing energy efficiency.
This collaboration marks an industry shift from relying solely on "hardware scaling" towards "intelligent optimization," with the goal of achieving a tenfold leap in energy efficiency.
From our professional standpoint, this energy efficiency revolution resonates deeply with JEENOCE's practices in the automation sector.
Just as we specialize in digital SMT integration and non-standard automation solutions, the application of AI in chip design epitomizes the core value of "intelligentization" – using data-driven methods to optimize processes and minimize resource waste.
TSMC's AI tools achieve "automatic placement and routing" in chip design, which parallels the philosophy behind our QM System and MES System. We utilize software platforms to achieve data transparency, BOM analysis, and error prevention, ensuring low energy consumption and high stability throughout the production process.
This fusion of technologies not only reduces chip power consumption but also injects green momentum into the entire manufacturing industry (including semiconductors, automotive electronics, and new energy sectors), echoing our corporate culture of "Pursuing Excellence, Pragmatic Innovation."
This news highlights the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration. TSMC's breakthrough will help drive down data center operational costs and reduce carbon emissions. Our experience in test integration fixture matching and processing also demonstrates that precise modular design (similar to Chiplet technology) can significantly enhance system energy efficiency.
Looking ahead, AI, acting as an "optimizer of computational power," will accelerate the transition from traditional manufacturing to the digital factory. We believe this trend will inspire more companies to embrace intelligent solutions and jointly address global energy challenges.
