plural chiplets
: a small modular integrated circuit component that is designed to provide a specific function
A chiplet is one part of a processing module that makes up a larger integrated circuit like a computer processor. Rather than manufacturing a processor on a single piece of silicon with the desired number of cores, chiplets allow manufacturers … to use multiple smaller chips to make up a larger integrated circuit.—Tim Brookes
Instead of carving new processors from silicon as single chips, semiconductor companies assemble them from multiple smaller pieces of silicon—known as chiplets.—Tom Simonite
