From Fabless to Labless:
Why analysis labs have to be externalized and consolidated.

Presto Engineering provides an array of services to support product engineers in their critical and increasingly difficult task of shepherding new products from the completion of design to high-volume production. This activity requires advanced analysis tools and techniques that are increasingly costly and difficult to operate efficiently.

This whitepaper explores the evolution of analysis techniques, details the growing challenges of captive analysis organizations, and highlights the similarities between the current situation and the emergence of the fabless/foundry model.

We argue that there is an important role to be played by specialized third-party service providers, such as Presto Engineering, in facilitating this evolution and implementing a solution for labless semiconductor companies.
