The EDA and MCAD/MCAE Almanac – Nominal Q2 2012 Part IIJuly 27th, 2012 by Dr. Russ Henke
Dear Faithful Reader: Please take a few minutes to catch up on some useful news. Introduction: You have not seen this document before. It contains a summary of some topics you have seen, but there is new news throughout. Please continue reading!! It’s a first for the EDA Commentary! Posting Part II of a fresh article, as a Blog no less, before posting Part I! But after the lengthy and often arduous process during the last three months of evaluation and choosing Altium as the fifth member of our latest EDA G5, we also wanted to be among the first, if not the first, to bring you the good news about Altium’s final quarter of its Fiscal Year, the April 1 through June 30, 2012 quarter, which quarter is the one reported as Nominal Q2 2012 for several of the EDA G5. Nominal Q2 for the EDA G5 is normally reported in September’s EDA Commentary, and so it will be this year, when we post Part I for the other four members of the EDA G5. (We’ll include Altium’s numerical results in the collective graphs and tables in September as well). Moreover, as a special treat, we may even include a separate, extra-bonus vignette on EDA G5 member Altium in the August 2012 EDA Commentary, the latter of which will otherwise be devoted to the EDA IP G5 Q2 financials (ARM Holdings, CEVA , MIPS, MoSys, and Rambus). Main Message of this Blog: It was only SIX days ago on July 19 when the following “Important Notice” was posted in the EDACafe Daily Newsletter: Fifth EDA Vendor for future EDA Commentary Chosen!
