When I read “processor” in this context, I’m thinking of a discrete component. Wat?

There’s a semi-realistic graphic in that article. You can see multiple components in one package.
Besides, CPUs have had integrated GPUs for years now. I’m not sure why you’d be surprised to hear about separate multiple processor chips inside one big processor package.

You don’t seem to understand what I’m saying
I’d be surprised to find a Cortex M0 in an SoC that billed itself as having a Cortex M33, for example.
A System on a Chip can often have a CPU, GPU, and other subprocessors all on one die, but multiple chips on a processor is backwards.

So… you’re saying calling a productized die a “chip” is inappropriate? I think you’d be in the minority.
