Yeah, as it turns out, making exceptional shit from the ground up is really really tough.
Hence the reason Google Fiber got laughed out of existence. Google thought everyone would just bend over backwards and laud their arrival. I guess they were shocked that it would require money and actual effort, like most difficult undertakings.
- vlovich123 6y agoContradictory evidence to your point is that they regularly design all kinds of data center Hw (famous for starting the whole paradigm of building data centers with consumer HW) and build best-in-industry ML accelerators (TPUs). Don’t mistake building and selling consumer HW with building components. Very different problems. The former is as equal parts art as it is engineering. Building your own CPU will be vastly simpler. Whether or not Google has the same level of coordination between HW and SW to have Android benefit so greatly, I don’t know. It’s also unclear how big a step building the CPU is for Google. Lots of talented people on that project. That being said, it’s already behind schedule if I recall correctly so it legitimately could be causing them problems. Or they don’t have enough direction and good leadership to actually execute competently
