AMD to Implement TSMC SoIC Tech With Upcoming HPC Chips

AMD will debut TSMC's ambitious System-on-Integrated-Chips (SoIC) technology with its upcoming HPC chips, according to a DigiTimes report. A step toward rivaling Intel's Foveros 3-D chip stacking technology, SoIC will enable AMD to stack logic, memory, and I/O as separate chips within a single package. The article references a next-generation "HPC" chip, although it didn't delve into what this could be. Logically, AMD would want to integrate its EPYC and MI accelerator lines into a single package that can be used in HPCs. Such a product would combine its Zen-series x86-64 serial processing, with CDNA-series scalar processing, expertise in memory, leveraging large on-die victim-caches, and high-bandwidth memory (HBM); along with next-gen I/O.

Shorter trace paths, more cache, but more heat concentration, but if they can move the cache and cores around it may spread the heat out.

Great idea for low TDP mobile solutions. Is SoC on the bottom w memory on top or the other way around? ;)

Hopefully there will be more information on November 8 when AMD discuss new EPYC and Instinct accelerators.
