In future the chipset (FCH) will be integrated to the C/A-PU.
Excavator is the first non-Cat core to have a FCH inside it.

For desktop Carrizo this changes nothing as the external FCH will be used.
The mobile and tablet parts which are based on new packages the BOM will be cheaper because the external FCH is no longer needed.
