Early silicon validation matters. Cadence’s successful silicon validation of IP test chips on Intel 18A marks an important step toward production-ready ecosystem enablement, helping reduce risk for customers building next-gen systems.
An important milestone—but more importantly, a clear signal that the Intel 18A ecosystem is moving from promise to proven silicon. Cadence has successfully validated first IP test chips on Intel 18A, bringing key interfaces like 112G SerDes, PCIe Gen6, LPDDR5, and UCIe to life on silicon. This early validation delivers critical real-world insights into performance, power, and integration—helping reduce risk and accelerate adoption of advanced nodes for AI, HPC, and chiplet-based designs.
