Chiplets: Reducing Costs and Accelerating Chip Design
['Gary Elinoff']
RSS
Key Things to Know: As monolithic chips become ever larger and more complex, monolithic manufacturers face lower yields and increased costs.
It is now possible to “mix and match” pre-manufactured, monolithic chiplets from which to build the equivalent of a system on a chip (SOC).
They can save money by utilizing an inexpensive, low-power I/O chiplet if I/O needs are sporadic.

While the UCIe standard is gaining steam, not all the players are on board as yet.
