So is the plural systems on a chip (I hope so), or system on a chips (surely not)? And is hyphenation a valid get out of jail free card for people who for some reason prefer the latter? (so system-on-a-chips, still seems a monstrosity to me). Basically I want John Siracusa to be wrong about at least one thing like everybody else :)
SoC means just add power, everything you need to make a chip operate is integrated. No need for hundred active components! Terms and conditions apply! Something like that.
