Their “value added” list seems mostly good. But I’m confused about/sceptical of:<p>> Reduced Power Consumption: The smaller size of individual chiplets contributes to lower power consumption. Each chiplet can be optimized for energy efficiency, and the overall system can be designed to minimize power waste. This feature is particularly crucial as the demand for energy-efficient technology grows in sectors like mobile computing and data centers.<p>Each chiplet can be designed to minimize power consumption? Of course, sure, anything can be designed to minimize power consumption. The overall system can be designed to minimize power waste? Sure, I guess. But do the chiplets actually help there? If they are saying chiplets help there—I don’t see it. If they are saying they can work around it and it doesn’t hurt as much as you’d expect, I believe them.<p>Overall I’d expect chiplets to have slightly higher power consumption than a similar monolithic chip. The network isn’t free. There’s some loss of flexibility as the design has to be broken up over multiple chips.<p>But I’d also expect the higher yields should let them use newer process nodes, so in the end… the choice of a similar monolithic chip is probably not available!<p>Also I guess they could do better power gating than a monolithic design probably.
