The Chiplet Market Today and Where It's Headed
What you'll learn:
- Where are we now with chiplets?
- Where is the chiplet market headed?
This video presents the main keynote address at the 2026 Chiplet Summit given by Objective Analysis’ Jim Handy. He offers an overview of chiplets and examines the market and technology factors driving its growth. Jim is also a frequent contributor to Electronic Design.
Jim addresses why chiplets are needed and being used today. Specific topics include the reticle limit when creating die, as well as the ability to mix chiplets built on different wafer technologies. Chiplet architectures also enable decoupling of chip transistor processes.
He also examines and addresses issues like SRAM scaling. It’s essentially stopped shrinking at 5 nm, which can be a challenge if you want to include fast static memory. Splitting off SRAM caches into a chiplet allows the processor die to use smaller transistors than the cache.

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.
