Xilinx 2021 CEO Outlook

Victor Peng, president and CEO

In 2021, several major trends will be a continuation of developments from 2020 that will be accelerated. These include: applications moving to the cloud, edge computing, 5G, the explosion of data from more and diverse endpoints, heterogeneous computing including new domain specific architectures for AI and other workloads, and industry consolidation/integration.

Covid-19 in 2020 has been a revelation in terms of remote work, learning, healthcare, entertainment, factory operation, and so on. The pandemic will further accelerate these trends in 2021 and drive new innovations and business models. In more general terms, we’ll witness the acceleration of the digitization of everything, pervasive and connected intelligence from end points, to the edge, and cloud, the need for high-performance, low-latency and adaptive computing, and dealing with the end of Moore’s Law.

Finally, although not along the lines of a trend, it’s an undeniable fact in 2021 that as 5nm goes into production, the remaining semi players who offer high performance products will internalize the development cost of 3nm products.
