If you knew the technology, you'd know it's possible.
If you don't know the technology - that would be quite a risky business for you.
Better watch some more Discovery
I know enough of it, very special circuits for very special tasks, and very efficient. Some people are working on it (as much faster replacement for FPGAs). Because they are very expensive, I also had interest as a participator. But do you have enough knowlegde about the details? I think it's complex and expensive, isn't it?
Sorry, with all the respect, but you definitely use the word "very" to often to convince me that you know much about anything.
He already said everything. To make the chip in China you need about 100k USD, plus ~20% reserve for unexpected issues that may arise - if they don't arise he pays them back as dividends.
The chip is basically made from FPGA application, which there are many of such out there already - turning it onto a fixed silicon makes it much smaller and much less power needy - as for my knowledge likely around what friedcat has published.
After you make the mask, or whatever they call it, a single chip costs you like.. nothing. At least comparing to today's prices of FPGA.
But there are also many risk factors, that I am sure you haven't thought of, so take your time before you eventually believe or not
