As the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) pushes semiconductor performance toward new limits, the industry is confronting a fundamental constraint: the slowing of Moore’s Law. Increasingly, engineers are turning their attention not just to chip design, but to system integration and advanced packaging, areas now seen as critical to sustaining performance gains.

SK Hynix has invested in Semidynamics, a Spanish fabless chip designer, as part of a push to expand its presence in the artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor ecosystem.
