getgo: no clue
Just for fun a good definition of a SOC from VLSI: The term ''system-on-a-chip'' has become one of the most widely used [& hackneyed] terms in the semiconductor industry. A true system-on-a-chip integrates all the subsystems required by an end product -- microprocessing, analog, glue logic, power management and memory. Since no two end products are exactly alike, neither are any two systems-on-a-chip. So,
system-on-a-chip products will be custom ICs, incorporating functions needed for specific applications and specific customers.
The most effective suppliers of such products will be those with a complete technology offering, including a broad range of IP
for specific applications, the ability to develop complex custom ASICs, and process technologies that incorporate logic, both
digital and analog, and memory on chip.
