Maybe not such a quiet day. Posted this other day and Mr Tevet covers this on the 3rd model.
Difference between ASIC and SoC
While both ASIC and SoC are types of integrated circuits, they differ in several key aspects. The first and most significant difference lies in their design and purpose. ASICs are custom-designed for a specific application and offer high performance and efficiency in carrying out that particular task. On the other hand, SoC integrates multiple components onto a single chip, providing versatility and flexibility at the cost of some performance and efficiency.
Another difference between ASIC and SoC is their development and production process. ASICs require extensive research, design, and testing, resulting in high development costs and longer time-to-market. In contrast, SoC benefits from the reuse of existing components and designs, which reduces development costs and enables faster production. This makes SoC more suitable for applications that require frequent updates or customization.
Furthermore, ASICs and SoCs differ in terms of scalability and adaptability. ASICs are fixed and cannot be reprogrammed or reconfigured once manufactured, making it difficult to adapt to changes or upgrades in the system. On the other hand, SoC can be easily reprogrammed or reconfigured, allowing for greater adaptability and scalability.
In a Nutshell enet can can save companies loads of cash by being able to provide software that can be updated and does not need to be replaced as it can be programmed on the fly for changing needs and FPGA can be converted to ASIC when the required volume is met. Also with the progression of AI can only see demand for this tech increasing as it's all about needing more computing power.
