System on a chip (SoC)

This is really interesting, a small component that executes multiple tasks in an intelligent procedure.An SOC is simply a micro controller mostly used in smartphones.

 
(SOC - On fingers)

In reference to Wiki, A system on a chip or system on chip (SoC or SOC) is an integrated circuit (IC) that integrates all components of a computer or other electronic system into a single chip.

 It may contain digital, analog, mixed-signal, and often radio-frequency functions all on a single chip substrate. SoCs are very common in the mobile electronics market because of their low power consumption. A typical application is in the area of embedded systems.

What makes me curious on this issue is the design and the know how that requires one to make a system of such intelligence and capability.The following is an over view of its interior with functions.



This processors are widely known by the following brands

• Intel
• AMD
• Qualcomm
• Mediatek etc.
