MIPS, by GlobalFoundries, CEO Sameer Wasson and CTO Yankin Tanurhan sit down with EE Times Nitin Dahad to discuss [the recent acquisition of the Synopsys IP Processor Solutions business](https://www.eetimes.com/globalfoundries-mips-to-buy-arc-ip-business-from-synopsys/) and the opportunity in physical AI.

The discussion highlights future architectural shifts in autonomous machines, with automotive and factory-floor robotics emerging as the largest manifestations of physical AI. Wasson and Tanurhan also discuss how MIPS by GlobalFoundries software-to-silicon with RISC-V strategy is stronger with the combination of MIPS and ARC AI and processors, creating the largest RISC-V IP provider on the planet.
