What’s Next for Chiplets in 2026?
What you’ll learn:
- What to see at the Chiplet Summit.
- The panel sessions and keynotes you should check out.
I’ve been a bit remiss with writing up a preview for this year’s Chiplet Summit at the Santa Clara Convention Center, taking place from Feb. 17-19. Then again, I host three panel sessions at the conference this time and CES was just a little while ago, so I hope you’ll give me a break. I also hope you’ll stop by to see my panel sessions:
- Superpanel: Best Way to Make Chiplets Work
- Links War Panel
- Chiplets in 2031 and How We Got There
Plans are to have videos of these, but it will be a while before they’re up.
There are quite a few keynotes, starting with Abhijeet Chakraborty, VP of Engineering at Synopsys, talking about “Designing the Future Today: AI-Driven Multi-Die Design.” If you can make it, you’ll hear more about topics from the chiplet ecosystem, such as “Enabling an Open Chiplet Ecosystem at the Package Level” courtesy of the UCIe’s Debendra Das Sharma.
The technical sessions are what most will want to explore. They cover many topics from “HBM (high bandwidth memory) Interfacing” to “Applying Die-to-Die Interfaces.” Stick around to find out about UCIe Version 3.0.
The chiplet market is still in its infancy, dominated by the big players like NVIDIA that utilize chiplets like HBM memory and incorporate artificial-intelligence (AI) acceleration into systems that exceed the current die-size limits. Some of my panels will touch on the challenges of making chiplets more available to developers. Will AI come into play for chiplet design and chiplet-based system design? It already has.
Stop by the conference if you can, as it should prove very interesting and enlightening.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.
I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
