Using a 180 nm process, this isn't going to outperform an FPGA at 14 nm either on clock rate or power. And the iteration time will be several weeks instead of minutes. So I'm curious what use cases this will have -- maybe something that doesn't fit into the FPGA mold like asynchronous logic?
- blacksmythe 9y agoDepends on clock rate. This is not for building a microprocessor. Static power on 180 nm circuit should be negligible, which won't be the case on a 14 nm FPGA.

- deepnotderp 9y agoPrototyping of novel circuits (e.g. async), 3D integration, education, etc. It's a really useful thing to be honest.
