1. An integrated circuit (IC) product (100; 200; 300), comprising:
a first chip (112; 212; 312);
a second chip (114; 214; 314);
a third chip (116; 216; 316);
a fourth chip (118; 218; 318);
a fifth chip (122; 222; 322);
a sixth chip (124; 224; 324);
a seventh chip (126; 226; 326); and
an eighth chip (128; 228; 328);
wherein the first chip (112; 212; 312), the second chip (114; 214; 314), the third chip (116; 216; 316), and the fourth chip (118; 218; 318) have substantially identical area and constituent components;
the fifth chip (122; 222; 322), the sixth chip (124; 224; 324), the seventh chip (126; 226; 326), and the eighth chip (128; 228; 328) have substantially identical area and constituent components;
the first chip (112; 212; 312), the second chip (114; 214; 314), the third chip (116; 216; 316), and the fourth chip (118; 218; 318) are arranged on four sides of the IC product (100; 200; 300), respectively; and
the fifth chip (122; 222; 322), the sixth chip (124; 224; 324), the seventh chip (126; 226; 326), and the eighth chip (128; 228; 328) are arranged in a central area (160; 260; 360) of the IC product (100; 200; 300);
wherein any chip of the first chip (112; 212; 312), the second chip (114; 214; 314), the third chip (116; 216; 316), and the fourth chip (118; 218; 318) is coupled to one of the fifth chip (122; 222; 322), the sixth chip (124; 224; 324), the seventh chip (126; 226; 326), and the eighth chip (128; 228; 328).
