Chiplet Tradeoffs And Limitations

By Ann Mutschler - 10 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry is buzzing with the benefits of chiplets, including faster time to market, better performance, and lower power, but finding the correct balance between customization and standardization is proving to be more difficult than initially thought. For a commercial chiplet marketplace to really take off, it requires a much deeper understanding of how chiplets behave indiv... » read more

Challenges In Managing Chiplet Resources

By Ann Mutschler - 27 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

Managing chiplet resources is emerging as a significant and multi-faceted challenge as chiplets expand beyond the proprietary designs of large chipmakers and interact with other elements in a package or system. Poor resource management in chiplets adds an entirely new dimension to the usual power, performance, and area tradeoffs. It can lead to performance bottlenecks, because as chiplets co... » read more

What Is A Chiplet, And Why Should You Care?

By Roberto Piacentini Filho - 15 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

Chiplets are a new way to build system-on-chips (SoCs) that can improve yields and reduce costs by more than 45%. It partitions the chip into discrete elements and connects them with a standardized interface, allowing designers to meet performance, efficiency, power, size, and cost challenges in the 5/6G, AI, and VR era. Unlike monolithic SoCs, chiplets enable an open ecosystem of modular co... » read more
