Description

Chiplet-based compute architectures for vehicles are entering a new phase, reshaping SDV hardware roadmaps by enabling modular multi-die platforms that scale performance, improve yield, and accelerate refresh cycles while meeting long lifecycles, safety, and cybersecurity requirements. This Frost & Sullivan study examines how automakers, Tier 1s, silicon vendors, foundries/OSATs, substrate and IP providers are converging to reduce cost and time-to-market while strengthening compliance and supply resilience. With rising emphasis on reuse and upgradability, chiplets move beyond first-wave ADAS into central compute, zonal/body controllers, infotainment, connectivity/telematics, powertrain inverters, and sensor hubs. The study explores key trends, including centralized/zonal E/E migration, die-to-die interconnect standardization, packaging choices, safety/cyber workflows, KGD and D2D test (BIST/DFT), and lifecycle and over-the-air implications for multi-die ECUs. Drawing on industry experts and secondary research, it delivers a comparative benchmarking of leading ecosystems and suppliers across compute, packaging/test, substrates, and IP; maps OEM and Tier 1 activity with indicative SOP windows and design-ownership patterns; and outlines market structure, maturity, and bottlenecks. It identifies near-term growth opportunities—multi-chiplet central compute, ADAS/AI accelerators, zonal I/O and security chiplets, auto-grade D2D test and KGD services, and chiplet-to-cloud lifecycle management—and provides partner selection criteria, packaging/test guardrails, governance checklists, and actionable recommendations for OEMs, Tier 1s, and technology providers.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
