The concept of chiplets has been around for a long time but its really not the same thing as gluing together multicore X86 CPUs complete with cache, IO and integrated controllers.
It's not just been a concept, Pentium Pro, Xeon Dempsey, Opteron's intended for socket G34 have all been actual products. MCM's and by extensions chiplets have been around for ages.
Glue BTW is a technical term for linking together separate sections of a CPU architecture.
Glue is not a technical term, perhaps the term you're looking for is interconnect, package, interposer, or substrate, it's difficult to know for sure though as when you're describing how separate IC's are connected to each other electrically by saying they use 'glue' it's anyone's guess what you mean.
There is also a very big difference between concepting something and working out the engineering and building a successful working architecture
See above, or you could just refer to the Wikipedia (not exactly authoritative but it's a start)
entry on MCM's that shows chiplets, those being what multi-chip modules are constructed from, have been used in machines since the 80's.
Your opinion seems to be that Jim is often wrong. Isn't that just a truism, as every tech rumour factory is by definition speculation based on educated guesses and tips?
Can't expect them to be correct 100% of the time. His style, detail, intelligence are all you can really go on unless you can figure out some KPI for ranking correctness taking all factors into account.
I guess you could say that, I've not done any analysis on how far he deviates from the norm, i also wouldn't say it's a truism as it's not obviously true that he, or anyone for that matter, in the business or rumors is often wrong, if they were there'd be little point in discussing them.
Yes we can't expect anyone to be 100% correct, however i think we can agree that people, in this particular case people speculating, claiming something to be true without evidence, fall somewhere between 0-100% and as I've said in
my personal opinion Jim is low down on that scale, you, and by the looks of peoples rather emotive reactions, may well place him higher and that's fine, I'm not trying to change their opinions as i respect the fact that other may well see it differently.
