Japanese firms Rapidus and Denso push for shared chip design methods
Japanese firms Rapidus and Denso call on other companies to join in standardising advanced chip designs, speeding up development and lowering production expenses.
Japanese companies Rapidus and Denso are set to collaborate on creating standardised design methods for advanced chips, which will be used in sectors such as AI and self-driving vehicles. The collaboration marks a significant step for Japan as it leads efforts to develop cutting-edge chip technology.
This is the first time Japanese firms have taken the lead in standardising chip design methods. The initiative is aimed at boosting Japan’s competitiveness in the global chip market, where competition is fierce and innovation is key.
Rapidus and Denso will encourage other companies to join in sharing their chip designs. The shared methods are expected to reduce development time and production costs, fostering a more efficient approach to chip manufacturing.
By creating common design practices, the companies hope to speed up the development of advanced chips, making them more affordable to produce and further solidifying Japan’s position in the tech industry.
