Abstract :
The development of customized solutions for optimized consumer electronics applications like game processors is pushing the boundaries of VLSI in many ways. The author will describe architectural, circuit, packaging and manufacturing challenges focusing on why game processors are different and require unique solutions. A historical perspective of gaming and entertainment systems and their intersection with leading edge processor design will provide insight into future trends and needs in VLSI design.
