BOSTON – A new report notes that the semiconductor design IP sector grew to $1.5 billion in revenue in 2007, up approximately 11% year-over-year, a slower growth than in previous years.
 
Yet in a twist, the success of IP for RF and wireless applications has indirectly contributed to slower growth for the semiconductor design IP sector overall, says a new report.
 
Research firm Strategy Analytics claims, “Getting even a fraction of the IP cores on offer by more than 90 firms to work together, especially in SoCs for wireless devices, is a difficult challenge, but one made easier if done under one roof.”
