Is Chiplets the Answer to the End of Moores Law? [Video]

Is Moore’s Law dead? Many would argue–yes. Yet, this is not the end of the advancement in the semiconductor realm. We have just entered the age of generative AI, and the requirement for newer and more efficient chips is ever-growing.

Many in the industry believe chiplets could be the answer. In a research paper in 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore said that the number of transistors on a chip would double approximately every two years, leading to exponential increases in computing power and decreases in cost.

But in today’s time, given the constraints of single-reticle chip sizes, fitting more transistors onto one chip is becoming increasingly challenging. Chiplets, however, offer greater flexibility and scalability in semiconductor design by allowing the integration of smaller, specialised components into a single package.

This, in turn, can help overcome some of the physical and economic challenges associated with traditional scaling methods.
