You do realize that violating export regulations is a much bigger risk than losing a few individuals relying on snake oil security?
Digikey and Mouser do not do this. > few individuals relying on snake oil security Please don't.

The masks alone are single digit millions, but with all the design tools and staff costs typically tens of millions is the benchmark number for a tape out in this node. After coming out of the fab, the chips go through probing, packaging and reeling.

Can you explain what is the connection between closing the site to VPN users and violating export regulations?
Wait a minute, why can't I reply to bunnie's top-level comment? Anyway, here's what I wanted to say: Adding your CPU to another company's silicon is a genius move, well done. I wonder why companies don't sell their spare die space to others, is it because of trust/risk?
The powers that be here think they've found a bunch of "hacks" to curb off low quality comments.
I'm also curious about the current draw, but I couldn't find anything?

Crossbar is unusual to start with in that they wanted to do open RTL - so for starters, there's to a first order no companies even willing to discuss open RTL designs. Beyond that - mainly risk. I had to pinky swear that whatever I added would not break the chip, cause timing closure issues, delay the schedule, consume too much area or power, impact yield, I had to run my own validation and review program while meeti…

VPNs for desktop users have very few security use cases since most traffic ended up being https, but they're very useful for evading geoblocks.

Big fan of this project by the way.
