1. Executive Summary UCIe (Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express) is an open industry standard for die-to-die (D2D) interconnect and serial bus. It defines the physical layer, protocol stack, and compliance rules to enable heterogeneous chiplets (from different vendors, fabs, and process nodes) to interoperate seamlessly within a single advanced package. ucie spec
As Moore’s Law slows, chiplet-based disaggregated System-on-Chips (SoCs) offer the path to higher performance, yield, and reusability. UCIe provides the "glue" to mix compute, memory, I/O, and analog chiplets from multiple sources. | Protocol | Use Case | |----------|-----------| |
