Pixel 2 is hiding a custom Google SoC for image processing

I was kinda feeling dumb reading this... SoC is "System On A Chip"... "A system on a chip or system on chip (SoC or SOC) is an integrated circuit (also known as an "IC" or "chip") that integrates all components of a computer or other electronic systems. It may contain digital, analog, mixed-signal, and often radio-frequency functions—all on a single substrate."

Thanks for that. When I see the string "Google SoC", I interpret that to expand to "Google Summer of Code" so I was rather confused.

Just want to add my thanks to the growing list. Kind of surprising that they didn't follow the best practices for abbreviations and have "SoC (System on a Chip)" at the first instance of the abbreviation.

Thanks. I was confused as well... most articles would have started off with the term and then used the acronym... i knew the context of what it was, but not knowing what it actually stood for was driving me nuts...
