Chiplets: Current Status

Recent products show that even large and complex chiplet structures can be designed reliably and efficiently: Recent weeks have seen a number of interesting developments in the area of chiplets. An increasing number of products based on chiplets have been brought to market, especially in the processors segment. For example, Apple and AMD now have processors with chiplets on the market and under production in high volumes. On one hand, this means that sufficient production capacity has now been built up on the manufacturer side. Previously, the production capacities for such volumes were lacking along the entire chain. On the other hand, this now confirms that even large and complex chiplet structures can be designed reliably and efficiently. However, applications are so far limited to those with a large number of units.
