Sells the EDA software and silicon IP used to design and verify essentially every AI chip, plus emulation hardware for pre-silicon software bring-up. ~$8.7B annual revenue, extended into simulation and analysis by the 2025 Ansys acquisition. Forms a duopoly with Cadence over the design layer, a toll on every chip taped out regardless of which accelerator wins.
