If I were starting a new chip company I would be working on FPGA coprocessors. You get the economies of scale of producing a single chip but a lot of extra efficiency/sales by marketing it as customizable hardware (which most large buyers of chips increasingly want). It’s a transitional step between the current mass market mode of chip productions selling one size fits all, and the way the market is heading towards task specialized hardware.
