gjp - forgive me if I don't get too excited by your prediction of great things. I'm not wanting to get anyone down here, but look at this quote and then think again if it's worth getting excited right now after 2 projects cancelled and a huge loss of coin on Gox. I will get excited when/if the situation actually changes - predictions, you can keep them.
"the time from RTL to device tape-out is typically only five to ten weeks for prototypes."
minerpart - GJP has a history of having information before the rest of us - although I don't always like his style, so far he is yet to be wrong about something. I personally have some of my own info via a different route which completely corroborates GJP's bullish statements.
So let me ask - what would excite you?
Would tape-out get you excited? That would mean 5-10 weeks for prototypes....
What about "Test chip in hand"?
I wonder when Ken actually started the 28nm full custom.

Ken is on a war path to prove trolls wrong... roll on wednesday.
