@pipelinec Congrats! This sounds pretty cool. Are they also planning to tape this out at some point or is it mainly FPGA focussed for now?
@CanLehmann great question - it was mentioned as a 'what if someday someone did' but no concrete plans atm for ASICs. Reminds me of when microsoft has some networking FPGAs in datacenters and weighed ASIC vs them and needed to consider the years difference in dev time etc
