-# Big Picture
-
-*(circa Q1 2012)*
-
-The generic term "System on a Chip" refers to the fact that the CPU and many
-"peripherals" (USB, ethernet, memory controller, GPU) are integraded into a
-single package instead of being distributed across a motherboard via a
-northbridge and southbridge. There still needs to be external analog and
-digital circuitry for most "connectivity" interfaces like USB or ethernet to
-provide level conversion, isolation, etc. Notably, RAM is not usually
-integraded into the chip, and the large parallel bus to the RAM chips must be
-routed very carefully. Some newer chips (popular circa 2010?) include "package
-on package" technology where the RAM chip is right on top of the SoC to make
-routing easier (eg, iPhones, RaspberryPI).
-
-The establishment players for mobile ARM SoCs are TI (OMAP), Qualcomm
-([Snapdragon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(System_on_Chip))), not
-regular ARM), Samsung ([Exynos](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exynos))), Marvell
-(Armada, Armada XP, )
-
-The establishment players for MIPS SoCs are Broadcom and Marvell (Kirkwood).
