Fair enough but I don’t work for AMD.

> Are you seriously suggesting hobbyists should tapeout an ASIC instead of use an FPGA? No. I said the low-end of FPGA sales is getting eaten by microcontrollers and the high-end o…

I don't think AMD can say this but I think the reality is for most hobbyists this is the prevailing attitude: "The Harsh Truth about FPGAs (You Should Avoid Them?!)" https://www.yo…

Thanks! I'm going to give this a shot on a nasty simulation I'm presently working on... :)

SOTA = State of the Art? Like say Claude Opus 4.5? I actually want to try this out.

I wonder if that even works. Kinda like when kids play telephone I think it’s unlikely the input and output sentences actually match.

Also an “exploratory discussion” is not the same as a signed contract. Apple has tons of custom silicon now. There are many low risk ASICs Apple could kick the tires with.

TSMC fabs on home turf is just as good from a security point of view. But in reality for VLSI at this scale and volume it’s just single supplier in series with single supplier all …

How exactly is exactly? Can I make it measure 1 hour with an allowed tolerance of 55 years, plus or minus. :)

Not all code is cheap. Some code remains very expensive. But the idea that some code is cheap and some code is expensive is not new. The only new thing is there are some adjustment…

Worse than a void because a void is not necessarily bad. Walking “off a cliff” rarely ends well.

I second the friend's opinion. A lot of the people who post online have no experience with the paid PCB tools and those tools already have quite a lot of automation, and the automa…
