Meeting Gamers’ Demands Has Made Life Better for All image

Video game sales were valued at $79 billion in 2017, larger than the global PCB market and growing at about 14% per annum. As far as gaming hardware is concerned, combined sales of pure game consoles and high-performing PC graphics cards for gaming generate about $50 billion each year. Alun investigates the challenges for the PCB industry to provide new products and materials compatible with the increasing signal speeds into and out of the chip, and across high-bandwidth external memory interfaces. We need to keep developing advanced low-loss materials to minimize the heating effects high-frequency signals can have on the substrate, just as much as we need them to ensure adequate signal integrity at such high speeds.
