A small chip or fragment, or in modern computing, a small semiconductor component that works together with other chiplets to create a more powerful processor.
From chip (Old English 'ceapian' meaning to cut or trade) + diminutive suffix -let, popularized in computing terminology in the 2000s as companies began designing modular processor components.
Chiplets represent a revolutionary shift in computer design—instead of trying to squeeze everything onto one giant chip, engineers now build specialized mini-chips that communicate with each other, making computers faster and cheaper to manufacture.
