You don't seem to understand what I'm saying.
I'd be surprised to find a Cortex M0 in an SoC that billed itself as having a Cortex M33, for example.
A System on a Chip can often have a CPU, GPU, and other subprocessors all on one die, but multiple chips on a processor is backwards.
So... you're saying calling a productized die a "chip" is inappropriate? I think you'd be in the minority.
It's fucking hilarious when people are so confidently and aggressively wrong like this.
Sure, ignore the professional.
Seems my other, completely reasonable retort was removed 🙄
So all I'll say is: based on you seemingly not understanding what a chip is, it seriously brings into disrepute your claim that you are a professional in the semiconductor industry.
That is not very friendly.
Anyway, here's a picture of what I believe is a multi-chip processor.
That's something else entirely. It literally even says "chiplet" at the top. It is a collection of discrete processor chips.
These have existed before the term "chiplet".
I know that SIP isn't anything new, but it's still not what "processor" brings to mind. It's a package or a module, and it could comprise one or more processors.
So the pedantry is that the whole package can't be called a processor. A CPU is not a processor.
