Companion chips: The intelligent choice for AI?With Imagination Blog - Simon Forrest, ImaginationJul. 19, 2018 |
For many years, the semiconductor industry has strived towards tightly integrating more and more components into a single system-on-chip (SoC). After all, it is an entirely practical solution for high volume applications. By optimally positioning the various cores, memories and peripherals chip manufacturers are able to minimise data pathways, improve power efficiency and optimise for high performance, while significantly reducing costs. The industry has very much succeeded with this approach and the SoC is now a standard component of almost all our consumer electronics.
