Modern processors are made up of billions of tiny transistors, and shrinking them steadily has let chip manufacturers keep pace with Moore’s Law. But what if the processors themselves could shrink? That’s the vision behind chiplets: smaller processor components that take some of the load off of CPUs, which themselves could also be designed as chiplets.
On Tuesday, Semiconductor industry titans including Intel, AMD, Samsung, TSMC, and Arm came together to announce a new universal chiplet interface – which they hope will accelerate chiplet innovation in the future.
