Can anyone please explain the major differences between a Soc and SBC?
791
System on Chip (SoC) and Single Board Computer (SBC) are totally different to each other. Usually SOC is an important constituent of the SBC. System-on-a-chip (SoC) is an Integrated Circuit which houses all the critical elements of the electronic system on a single microchip.
An SoC, or System-on-a-Chip, integrates almost all of these components (chipset features) into a single silicon chip. Along with a processor, the SoC usually contains a GPU (graphics processor), memory, USB controller, power management circuits, and wireless radios.
A system on a chip or system-on-chip (SoC) is an integrated circuit that integrates most or all components of a computer or other electronic system.
The primary goal is to reduce energy waste and save on expense, while reducing the space occupied by large systems. With an SoC you achieve all those goals, as you essentially downsize what are normally multi-chip designs onto a single processor that uses much less power.
SOC = System on a Chip
SBC = Single Board Computer
A SOC has multiple functional units on one piece of silicon. Often multiple processors and peripherals.
A SBC is a complete PC on a single PCB. CPU, RAM, non-volatile memory(HDD or flash)...
