Arm and ecosystem partners are looking to accelerate the next evolution of silicon.

A key challenge our partners are consistently looking to solve is: How can we continue to push performance boundaries, with maximum efficiency, while managing costs associated with manufacturing and yield? Today, as the ever more complex AI-accelerated computing landscape evolves, a key solution emerging is chiplets.

Chiplets are designed to be combined to create larger and more complex systems that can be packaged and sold as a single solution, made of a number of smaller dies instead of one single larger monolithic die. This creates interesting new design possibilities, with one of the most exciting being a potential  route to custom silicon for manufacturers who historically chose off-the-shelf solutions. The excitement is focused on the concept of composability – putting together a bespoke complete solution by reusing a set of existing or standardized chiplets, each optimized for cost-performance. This reusability and standardization can lead to a multi-vendor chiplet supply chain that could enable both new and existing players to access performance and differentiation opportunities.
