Semiconductor chips are the backbone of our technology-driven world, powering everything from smartphones to the servers that support cloud computing. A noticeable trend in modern devices is the shrinking space available for specialized tasks, requiring these devices to handle multiple workloads efficiently within limited physical constraints. The semiconductor industry is undergoing significant transformation. Traditional monolithic chip designs face mounting challenges as we continue to push the boundaries of computational power, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Enter chiplet-based architecture — an innovative solution poised to revolutionize semiconductor services and semiconductor solutions.
Chiplet technology is centered on modular chips, which can be combined to form an integrated system-on-chip (SoC). These chips are designed explicitly for chipset-based architecture, where multiple chipsets work together to create a unified circuit. In exploring chipset technology, we’ll examine its significance, connection to SoCs, and latest trends.
