Pretty much. It reminds me of the days in auto-manufacturing when you had x number of engines that could be matted to x number of transmissions which provided a huge number of options and cost savings. I'm not saying it doesn't still happen but I haven't heard a whole about it in the last decade versus what I saw from the 70s-90s.I mean it kinda makes perfect sense. Look we made a new x controller or efficiency upgrade in our cpu or whatever. Now they just swap that component and connect it with traces to test. Allows for faster iteration and more advancement. Paid for by a minor hit to interconnect efficiency.
That's actually pretty standard for everyone in auto manufacturing these days. Even across brands.Pretty much.
