Without a fab as a differentiator, they're interested (or should be interested) in boosting design development productivity to compete even more effectively in the fabless world. On the other hand, fabless companies are seeing new, more nimble competitors pop up on their radar screen--formerly fabbed companies. They too have an interest in boosting productivity to be more competitive in what's clearly shaping up as an interesting new era in the industry.
