Panel: Growth Drivers Near-term and Long-term?
The chip industry is in the midst of a cyclical correction, but it is one that has had several facets: memory, leading-edge logic (mobile/PC and cloud/AI), automotive, new substrates, and standard analog/logic each marching to a different drum providing several cross currents among the headlines. Where are we in this cycle, and what in the near-term will pull us out? Are there trends emerging today which have staying power to drive long-term growth? This panel hopes to uncover some of those answers.
