The next evolutionary step for the SoC Market is ... IP Subsystems. This concept involves a "divide and conquer" design strategy that enables designers to increase integration and meet rising customer expectations of performance and functionality. Semico Research has a new report, "The IP Subsystem Market: An Evolving Landscape", which examines this market in detail. Different SoC types are aimed at different applications, and the report details the average number of discrete IP blocks per Basic, Value Multicore, and Advanced Performance Multicore SoC.
