In our second TIRIAScast on the Coronavirus (officially named COVID-19), we explore some of the potential winners and losers from the outbreak as a result of long-term changes in society and business. Join TIRIAS Research principal analysts Kevin Krewell (@krewell) and Jim McGregor (@tekstrategist) in this TIRIAScast as they address the potential impact of the outbreak on the electronics industry.

The Coronavirus (officially named COVID-19) is having a dramatic effect worldwide. There were concerns about the potential impact on the electronics industry when the outbreak first surfaced in China, but inventory buildups minimized the initial impact. Now, the spread of the outbreak and changes in consumer spending pose a much greater threat to the industry and global economy.

2019 was a busy year for technology with the launch of 5G, huge investments in AI and autonomous vehicles, and new advancements in semiconductor technology, just to name a few of the major topics. Join TIRIAS Research principal analysts Kevin Krewell (@krewell) and Jim McGregor (@tekstrategist) in this TIRIAScast as they review some of the major news of 2019 and provide a glimpse of what to expect in 2020.

Throughout 2019, over 100 5G devices have been announced and 5G networks have begun rolling out around the world. By the end of 2020 several countries will have complete 5G coverage and just about every region will have some 5G coverage or at least a plan for 5G. As with every cellular technology generation before it, however, there are still misconceptions about 5G fueling the naysayers. Join TIRIAS Research principal analysts Kevin Krewell (@krewell) and Jim McGregor (@tekstrategist) in this TIRIAScast as they address many of the misconceptions about 5G and give a realistic view of the technology and future of 5G.

Starting with HotChips in late-August, fall 2019 has been an extremely busy season filled with new technology and product announcements. Principal Analysts Kevin Krewell (@krewell) and Jim McGregor (@tekstrategist) cover the impact of some of these announcements with a look to what’s coming in the next few months leading up to CES.

The semiconductor is getting exciting again as reflected by the record attendance at this year’s Hot Chips Conference at Stanford University. And much of this excitement is driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML). Join TIRIAS Research principal analysts Kevin Krewell (@krewell) and Jim McGregor (@tekstrategist) as review the presentations and announcements from the 2019 Hot Chips conference, including the new wafer-scale AI platform from Cerebras, in this TIRIAScast.

There is an alarming trend of device and systems companies developing custom chips, especially for AI and autonomous vehicles. Join TIRIAS Research Principal Analysts Kevin Krewell (@krewell) and Jim McGregor (@tekstrategist) as they discuss why companies are developing custom chips, the industry trends and technologies that are enabling custom chips, and what it means to the traditional semiconductor segment in this TIRIAScast.

After Apple settled with Qualcomm and agreed to switch to Qualcomm modems for 5G, Intel was left without a major handset customer. It was a matter of time before Apple or someone else purchased the modem assets from Intel, but there is a little more to the story. Join TIRIAS Research Principal Analysts Kevin Krewell (@krewell) and Jim McGregor (@tekstrategist) as they discuss the deal and what it means to the parties and the industry in this TIRIAScast.
