Chipset is a crucial element of any electronic device that processes data. It is an integrated circuit that connects various hardware components of a system, including the processor, memory, and input/output devices. However, the term chipset is not always used in common lingo, and there are various synonyms or alternates one can use. Some of these synonyms include microcontrollers, microprocessors, logic chips, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and system-on-a-chip (SoC). All these terms essentially refer to the same thing and perform similar functions as a chipset does. Regardless of the term used, the primary role of these chips remains to establish communication between different components of a system and ensure its performance.
