Chiplets Add New Power Issues
Well-understood challenges become much more complicated when SoCs are disaggregated.

Delivering and managing power are becoming key challenges in the rollout of chiplets, adding significantly to design complexity and forcing chipmakers to weigh tradeoffs that can have a big impact on the performance, reliability, and the overall cost of semiconductors.
Power is a concern for every chip and chiplet design, even if the specifics differ based on the application. Systems vendors and leading-edge chipmakers already are using chiplets to improve performance and power efficiency, and the automotive industry is eyeing them as a way of managing different options for consumers. But while most power-related issues are well understood in a monolithic SoC, accounting for all of the possible interactions in a heterogeneous assembly of chiplets elevates those issues to a whole new level.
