Chipset basically is the motherboard in a phone or in other words, its a mother of board which accepts all the components to sit upon it, and connect with each other. It is made of ICs(integrated circuits) and provides all the inter communication channels (buses) to connect for eg Camera, bluetooth, wifi, touch screen with CPU/Flash storage/Ram.

CPUis the Central Processing Unit which is responsible for carrying out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetical, logical, and input/output operations of the system.Almost all CPUs in mobile's are based on specifications by ARM (Cortex A7/A9/A15 etc.).

In a mobile phone, combination of Chipset and CPUis called a SoC(System on Chip) which integrates all the components on a single chip. Unlike in computers, CPU is soldered on the Chipset inside a mobile device which tends to improve the performance, andsaves lot of space.

Popular SoCs are Snapdragon by Qualcomm, Tegra by nVidia, Intel Atom (SoC).
