Growth of High Definition Multimedia Interface

Digital visual interface (DVI) and high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) are both experiencing record growth, but the future is much brighter for HDMI, reports
In-Stat.

HDMI-enabled device shipments will grow 78 percent per year through 2010, while DVI will begin to decline in 2007. DVI and HDMI are both high-bandwidth digital interface specifications. DVI is aimed primarily at PCs and peripherals, while HDMI is aimed at the consumer electronics (CE) market.

HDMI has become the dominant digital interface in the CE market, first by being designed into digital televisions (DTVs), and recently gaining design wins in devices that connect to DTVs, including set top boxes, DVD players, A/V receivers and game consoles. HDMI is also gaining traction in the PC market among more media-centric notebook and desktop models.

In-Stat's study found the following:

- DisplayPort will succeed DVI & VGA in the PC market.

- Over 90 million DVI-enabled products shipped in 2005, more than in any previous year.

- Wireless connectivity is beginning to establish a presence in this segment, a trend that will intensify over the next two to four years.

How AI Reshapes a $360 Billion Foundry Market

Few technology sectors sit as close to the center of gravity in today's artificial intelligence (AI) economy as semiconductor manufacturing. Every AI chip that trains a frontier model, every GPU that powers a data center inference workload, and every power management IC that keeps hyperscaler facilities running traces its origins back to the global Foundry ecosystem. IDC's latest market study throws that reality into sharp relief, projecting that the broadly defined Foundry 2.0 market will surpass $360 billion in 2026, a 17 percent year-over-year gain that would have seemed optimistic even two years ago. For anyone advising boards or investment committees on technology and AI infrastructure strategy, this growth trajectory demands careful consideration. Foundry 2.0 Market Development The umbrella term covers four distinct verticals: pure-play foundry, non-memory integrated device manufacturer (IDM) production, outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT), and photomask fab...
