News Cadence says its AI-driven chip design tools provide a process node's worth of performance gain, but without moving forward to a new node

[Admin]

Cadence says that using its AI-assisted design tools can enable 5% to 20% performance, power, and area improvements, akin to adopting a next-generation process technology.

So they have AI designing the chips on which future AIs will run. <ducks>

I think that feedback loop is what's eventually supposed to lead to the singularity. When it really picks up speed is the point at which it can cut humans out of the loop.

Anyway, the main question I have (which I think won't be answered for some time), is: which mainstream CPUs use such tools, and to what extent? AMD has previously said they're working with these EDA companies and trying out their new tools. Presumably, now that Intel is using standard EDA flows, they are as well.

oh $#!t robots are designing our CPUs
