mg777,
Both, they are tools to solve problems. There many different business models and neither SiP or SoC are appropriate for all of them. In the end it is about making money by selling products. For example, suppose you want to make a lot of very low cost hand sets then an SoC maybe great. You can amortize the development cost over a lot of products. On the other hand, there are also markets driven by time to market, features, performance and short product life, in that case, SiP is better approach. Since the products are differentiated, the ASPs can be higher supporting the higher unit costs for SiP. The real challenge is being able to make the decision about which approach to use for which product.
Best Regards,
Sheldon
