I agree that fab commoditization is on the horizon, and I'm inclined to go a little further than you on the effect: I think we're going to see (in maybe 20 years) an ASIC design golden age where custom and semi-custom designs become the norm in performance-sensitive applications, and demand drives up the scale and down the costs of tooling, expertise, and deployment.
- tcoppi 10y agoI don't think an ASIC golden age requires fab commoditization, in fact it could benefit from more custom tuning to the individual process as opposed to being developed for bulk silicon.
