The presentation by George Jones, Managing Director at Woodside Capital Partners, dives into the critical shift from monolithic SoCs to chiplet-based architectures in the automotive silicon industry.

Attendees will learn how the slowing of Moore’s Law and the soaring demands of the Software Defined Vehicle are creating an urgent need to move beyond monolithic designs, which are physically and economically unsustainable, especially for advanced ADAS/AD applications.

This session explains why the chiplet paradigm, which allows for heterogeneous integration (mixing and matching process nodes for better cost and performance), is the solution^. Critically, the talk covers the rise of open standards like UCIe (“USB for chiplets”), four distinct chiplet ecosystem strategies (AMD, Tenstorrent, NVIDIA, Arm), and recent M&A activity driving the industry’s consolidation.

Finally, the presenter challenges industry leaders to champion open standards, invest in system-level integration expertise, and “think in platforms, not products” to maximize the flexibility of this new technology.
