( SNUG 03 Item 1 ) ----------------------------------------------- [05/14/03]
Subject: The Synopsys/Avanti Customer Demographics
A MINI-CENSUS: This data comes from the customer SNUG'03 survey itself. A
total of 285 out of the 549 SNUG'03 attendees responded.
Here's the stats on the types of designs these engineers are creating:
Standard Cell / SoC ####################################### 78%
Full Custom ###### 13%
Gate Array . 1%
FPGA/CPLD ## 3%
Other ### 5%
The speed, size, and process of the chips they're designing:
1 - 99 MHz #### 8%
100 - 199 MHz ############## 27%
200 - 299 Mhz ########## 19%
300 - 499 MHz ########## 19%
500 + Mhz ############## 27 %
1 - 300 Kgates ###### 13%
301 - 500 Kgates ### 7%
501 - 999 Kgates ######### 17%
1 - 2.5 Mgates ####### 14%
2.5 - 5 Mgates ########### 22%
5+ Mgates ############# 26%
0.25 um or higher # 3%
0.25 um ## 4%
0.18 um ########### 23%
0.15 um ### 5%
0.13 um ########################### 53%
0.11 um # 3%
0.10 um 0%
below 0.10 um ##### 9%
Ckeck out last year's stats in SNUG 02 #3 and you'll be surprized to see
how dramatically things have changed in one year -- especially in design
gate counts and fab processes being used. Last year only 8% of designs
were 4 million gates or more. Now 23% are! Last year 32% of designs were
at or below 0.13 um. Now 65% are.
Their backend flow:
Hand-off backend To ASIC fab ############### 38%
We use Avanti backend ####################### 45%
We use Cadence backend ################## 35%
We use Magma backend ### 6%
We use Monterey backend # 1%
We use our own backend #### 8%
"other" backend ### 7%
And the fabs they're designing for:
In-House Company Fab ################## 30%
TSMC ############################### 61%
UMC ############### 30%
IBM ########## 19%
Texas Instruments ###### 12%
LSI Logic #### 7%
Chartered ## 4%
STMicroelectronics ## 4%
Agere ## 3%
Philips ## 3%
NEC ## 3%
Toshiba ## 3%
Fujitsu # 1%
Mitsubishi # 1%
Xilinx ##### 9%
Altera ## 3%
While these numbers are generally the same as last year's, this year LSI's
share dropped dramatically.
LSI Logic (2002) ######### 17%
LSI Logic (2003) #### 7%
While TSMC's share grew yet again this year.
TSMC (2002) ########################## 52%
TSMC (2003) ############################### 61%
Which explains why all the EDA vendors go out of their way to say that they
work with TSMC in their press releases and why you rarely see them bragging
about their LSI Logic connections like they used to.
