TRENDS
1. Higher Integration level -> exponentially increased number of
components/transistors per chip.
2. Performance Scaling -> combination of Geometrical (shrinking of
dimensions) and Equivalent (innovation) Scaling.
3. System implementation -> SoC + increased use of SiP
4. Higher Speed -> CPU clock rate at multiple GHz.
5. Increased Compactness -> Smaller and lighter weight electronic
products
6. Lower Power -> Increased laptop, cell phone and PDA battery
life. Decreasing energy requirement per function.
7. Lower Cost -> Decreasing cost per function.
