DR. IAN CUTRESS COVERS HBM SAFETY IMPACT IN ISSCC 2025 RECAP
SANTA CLARA, CA — Dr. Ian Cutress, veteran technology journalist and industry analyst, released a new TechTechPotato video exploring how High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) is becoming essential for safety in autonomous vehicles. The video features insights from Francois Piednoel, Co-Founder and Chief mSoC™ Architect at Athos Silicon, based on his ISSCC 2025 talk, “Design and Assembly of an Automotive-Grade Chiplet-Based System-on-Chip (SoC).”
Cutress explains how Francois' use of HBM in a chiplet-based architecture addresses ASIL-D safety requirements, and why conventional memory solutions fall short. He also covers architectural insights from the talk, including chiplet interconnects, segmentation of dependencies, and the broader supply chain impact of automotive-grade HBM.
