Why tiny chiplets matter in the AI compute frenzy

By Gary Hilson, Fierce Electronics  (Nov 1, 2024)

Chiplets are small, but they’re enabling big things in the computing world.

Their adoption has seen a steep uptick in recent years, thanks in large part to the exponential growth of artificial intelligence (AI) that’s putting increasing pressure on servers, high-performance computing (HPC), and data centers.

Rather than consolidate every part into a single chip using a monolithic approach, chiplets are segmented with specific segments manufactured as separate chips, which are mounted into a single, interconnected package. A key benefit is that the different parts within a chiplet can leverage the latest fabrication methods and be shrunk in size so more components can be squeezed in.
