My understanding was that Apple wanted to figure out how to build systems with multi-SOCs to replace the Ultra chips. The way it is currently done means that the Max chips need to be designed around the interconnect. Theoretically speaking, a multi-SOC setup could also scale beyond two chips and into a wider set of products.
- aurareturn 2y agoI'm not sure if multi-SoC is possible because having 2 GPUs together such that the OS sees it as one big GPU is not very possible if the SoCs are separated.
- rbanffy 2y agoUltra is already two big M3 chips coupled through an interposer. Apple is curiously not going the way of chiplets like the big CPU crowd is.
