Chiplet

A chiplet is a small, modular piece of a larger computer chip. Instead of building one big, complex processor as a single unit (called a monolithic chip), chip designers now split it into several smaller chips—chiplets—and connect them together to work as one powerful system.

Why Chiplets Matter

Chiplets have become essential in modern semiconductor design because they solve many problems that come with producing extremely advanced processors. As chips become smaller and more complex, creating one large chip becomes expensive and difficult. Chiplets offer a smarter, more flexible alternative.

Why Chiplets Are the Future

The semiconductor industry is quickly moving toward chiplet-based architectures because they offer better scalability, reduced costs, and improved power efficiency. As technology advances, chiplets make it possible to build more powerful and energy-efficient electronics—from smartphones to supercomputers.
