Silicon benchmarking

Tracking the competition on a technical level helps business unit managers and PLMs to:
Reduce the risk of multimillion dollar investments by understanding the competitive market at the device level
Get to market faster by focusing the R&D where it will be the best differentiator

Chipworks' range of reporting allows you to almost instantly access die photos of your competors' devices, identify those die requiring further analysis, and dig deeper into the silicon layout for a rapid assessment of a competitors device. Discover what process node is used, get die size to estimate cost. Find out top level structural information such as
How much memory is on the (SOC) device - 6T vs 8T and the cell size
The size of key blocks such as rf blocks and where the transmitters/receivers are located for each of the different radio specs
The type of ADC being used
How many I/O types and their sizes

With Chipworks Silicon Benchmarking you can learn valuable competitive information to help you improve sales and plan product development. Silicon Benchmarking can also help you decide on the next reverse engineering steps, such as Process Analysis or Circuit Extraction.
