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.

Frontier AI Peaked. Here's What Comes Next

The prevailing narrative around artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of relentless scale. Bigger models, bigger clusters, bigger budgets. The assumption, largely unchallenged until recently, was that raw parameter count translated directly into competitive advantage. New research from Omdia suggests it's time to retire that assumption. According to the latest market study by Omdia, parameter growth in frontier AI models has slowed to around 5 percent annually since 2021, a stark contrast to the more than hundredfold expansion seen between 2019 and 2021. Enterprise AI Market Development For executives who have been making infrastructure and investment decisions based on the assumption that AI would keep demanding ever-larger, ever-more-expensive hardware, this finding deserves serious attention. The race to the top of the model size leaderboard has, at least for now, plateaued. Crucially, Omdia's analysts are not reading this as an AI winter. Alexander Harrowell, senior pri...
