Sitting @ the corner of a public gallery for the whole morning and watching the master piece ZEN art,
the smoothness of black and white clarity breezes your eyelid and makes your eyes fresh for the whole day.
The contact between art and you merges into the background white noise.
And I feel this is marvelous.
It looks like something from an orthodontist. They say that there are different processes for CPU and SoC processes even though Intel calls this chip an SoC? I'm confused.
"Intel has a wide variety of products (processors and SoC's) requiring differentdesigns at each particular technology node. SoC products often incorporate passive components (resistors, capacitors and inductors) that are often not seen in regular CPU products. "
Intel's business model is typically to create a CPU (Central Processing Unit) like the Core M Processor, then sell that one CPU to lots of companies designing laptops, tablets, etc. That CPU requires some external components to make a complete System:
RAM
WiFi connection
etc.
The Core M Processor does contain a graphics processor, so you could make the case that it is a System On a Chip (SoC).
In general, an SoC has most of the required functionality integrated into a single chip, requiring very few external chips to complete the entire product.
