A TechCrunch journalist tried creating an interactive digital version of herself through Synthesia, trained on a single story and able to answer questions through voice and video. The experiment reveals the potential of digital twins, but raises deeper questions about trust and the limits of their use in journalism and institutional work.
Higher power density and the complexity of chiplet designs are making heat an architectural constraint that must be considered from the earliest stages, not merely tested later at the chip level. Experts from Synopsys, Silvaco, Vinci, Keysight EDA, and Siemens EDA believe that multiphysics modeling and digital twins have become essential for connecting the chip to the package, board, and system.
