Intel is beefing up its portfolio of chips with the purchase of eASIC, a fabless designer of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Founded in 1999, eASIC makes a version of the ASIC called a structured ASIC. The structured ASIC has elements of both ASICs and field programmable gate arrays, with a more FPGA-like architecture.
“Having a structured ASICs offering will help us better address high-performance and power-constrained applications that we see many of our customers challenged with in market segments like 4G and 5G wireless, networking and IoT,”
