  PANEL: Platform ASIC Apprentices: Who Will Survive Your Boardroom?
  Chair: Ron Wilson - EE Times, San Mateo, CA
  Organizers: Joe Gianelli

  Moore's law delivers higher performance and lower cost for FPGAs and ASICs alike, but at the 90 nm process node and below, design schedules using the traditional cell-based ASIC design methodology hit a wall of uncertainty. At 90 nm and below an emerging alternative, or apprentice, ASIC design platform is either Platform ASIC or FPGAs. Which alternative will survive your board room?
