32-core Arm Neoverse CPU chiplet in TSMCʼs 2nm by 1st half 2025

Fabless SOC chip designer Socionext to develop 32-core Arm Neoverse CPU based chiplets to get fabricated in coming-up TSMCʼs advance 2nm Semiconductor fab. Socionext collaborating with Arm and TSMC to make these chiplets available in first half of 2025. Socionext said this advanced CPU chiplet proof-of-concept using Arm Neoverse CSS technology is designed for single or multiple instantiations within a single package, along with IO and application-specific custom chiplets to optimize performance for a variety of end applications. Chiplet based heterogeneous 3-D ICs offer flexibility as well as customisation, and also economical in some of the applications. Partnering with Arm make things more reliable, less time-consuming in terms of designing, where Arm said its Neoverse Compute Subsystems (CSS), is a faster, lower-risk path to custom silicon for infrastructure. Neoverse CSS is delivered pre-integrated and pre-verified solutions that bring more value than discrete IP to partners such as Socionext. “Socionext is a leading provider of custom SoCs for global hyperscale data center, automotive and networking customers. Driven by commercial and time-to-market benefits, there is a growing customer demand for granular compute power. Leveraging silicon re-use to create multiple product platforms enables innovative system architectures. With leading silicon node enablement ...
