Chiplets Make Progress Using Interconnects As Glue

Breaking up SoCs into their component parts and putting those and other pieces together in some type of heterogeneous assembly is beginning to take shape, fueled by advances in interconnects, complex partitioning, and industry learnings about what works and what doesn’t.

Partitioning In The Chiplet Era

The widespread adoption of chiplets in domain-specific applications is creating a partitioning challenge that is much more complex than anything chip design teams have dealt with in previous designs.

Nearly all the major systems companies, packaging houses, IDMs, and foundries have focused on chiplets as the best path forward to improve performance and reduce power.

Enabling Innovative Multi-Vendor Chiplet-Based Designs

Chiplets have emerged as a critical implementation paradigm for semiconductor products, primarily because they can deliver cost benefits relative to a non-chiplet-based approach.
The first, most well-proven, and obvious benefit of a chiplet-based approach is manufacturing cost.
