It is very difficult to tell the nature of what this miraculous announcement. SOC or SOAC have been talked about seriously since the early 80's. Many of the uPs and integrated logic devices would have been classed as SOCs but now the definition means the integration of broader system architectures. Lots of company have been working on this capability. LSI and other companies specialize in it. Now memory and mixed analog and digital circuits are able to be combined on the same chip. I can't tell if IBM has anything unique to announce or if this is just another announcement intended to drum up interest among customers. But no doubt about it, the scale of process technologies and intellectual property that has been developed allows true SOACs to be built and, as importantly, verified economically. The industry continues on the more for less axiom set out by Moore's Law.
