		texse on Dec 27, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Apple Silicon M1 Die-Shots It may be interesting to look at a more completely labeled die image (eg. a recent AMD laptop chip [1]). I/O controllers, various PHYs, the display pipeline and the media engine account for a significant fraction of chip. We also know the M1 has an integrated SSD controller, ISP and Thunderbolt which probably take a good chunk of room too. [1] https://potatopc.net/amd-renoir-die-annotation-raises-hopes-...

SSD controller and even Thunderbolt. That's the most integrated SoC I've heard of.
