+# System on a chip
+
+A system on a chip (SoC) is an integrated circuit that combines most or all key
+components of a computer or electronic system onto a single microchip.
+Typically, an SoC includes a central processing unit (CPU) with memory,
+input/output, and data storage control functions, along with optional features
+like a graphics processing unit (GPU), Wi-Fi connectivity, and radio frequency
+processing.
