What's the difference between chiplets and SoCs?
- taneq 8y agoThe chiplets are separate pieces of silicon linked together by a larger chip, whereas SOCs are etched onto one large piece of silicon?
- digi_owl 8y agoSounds somewhat similar to what Intel started offering recently, in collaboration with AMD. Basically a Intel CPU and an AMD GPU in a single package, for use in laptops that needed something beefier than an Intel GPU but didn't have the volume allowance for a full GPU card.
- zitterbewegung 8y agoThey also have a budget Ryzen that does the same thing but with their own Vega graphics. I am using one now for web development and distributed ledger development.
- digi_owl 8y agoI figured those where made much like their APUs of previous years, meaning that it was all on a single die.
- namibj 8y agoYou are correct. Look at wikichip for details.
- kdmytro 8y ago> ... and distributed ledger development. You are careful not to say "blockchain" :)
- jacoblambda 8y agoJust because something is a distributed ledger does not necessarily mean it is a blockchain. Yes, they are a dev in the cryptocurrency/blockchain space but still, who knows?
- zitterbewegung 8y agoYea, because the term keeps on being conflated. Blockchain means everything from cryptocurrencies to private ledger systems like hyperledger sawtooth.
- rbanffy 8y agoThis looks like a step above what Octavo does with the Sitara cores. https://octavosystems.com/app_notes/osd335x-design-tutorial/ https://octavosystems.com/app_notes/osd335x-design-tutorial/
