SemiAnalysis 认为 MI455 是首款搭载主动式本地硅互连(LSI)桥接的芯片,用于 CoWoS-L 封装内的 chiplet 间连接。TSMC 在 ISSCC 2026 展示了带低功耗中继器的主动桥接,可分担信号完整性负担,使顶层 die 的 PHY 显著缩小。

We believe the MI455 is the first known chip to ship with active Local Silicon Interconnect (LSI) bridges, the chiplet-to-chiplet links inside a CoWoS-L package.

In CoWoS-L's short history, those bridges have always been passive: wiring and capacitors, nothing more. Active LSIs carry real circuitry. At ISSCC 2026, TSMC demoed active bridges with a low-power repeater that regenerates signals mid-channel.

Why it matters: once the bridge shares the signal-integrity burden, the PHYs on the top dies can shrink meaningfully at near-zero energy cost, reclaiming leading-edge silicon and shoreline for compute and memory.

The giveaway that this is a shipping product rather than a research vehicle: the interposer TSMC showed matches the MI455 exactly. Two base dies, twelve HBM4 stacks, two IO dies.
