Monolithic die
Türkçe: Monolitik çip
The traditional processor design in which all functions sit on a single silicon die.
// EXPLANATION
In a monolithic design internal communication is fast and simple, but as the die grows the chance of a manufacturing defect rises and yield falls. This is one of the main reasons large multi-core chips moved to chiplets.
