it is not a joke, you can do as low as 1.10870 cent per custom chip or 2 cent per off the shelf chip. 0.03 cent is impossible, the minimum size of a chip is .62

it is not a joke, you can do as low as 1.10870 cent per custom chip or 2 cent per off the shelf chip. 0.03 cent is impossible, the minimum size of a chip is .625 mm2 and that sets the minimum price.
Designing one for $3K is possible because I already have a tested chip design that I just have to modify for you.
A master student project is usually a free design with a free tapeout at Google MPW, Mosys of Europractice.
I also design bigger chips and $500 wafer scale integration with 10000 cores : https://vimeo.com/731037615 https://vimeo.com/731037615
- anigbrowl 3y agoYou seem like a very smart and capable person, and for an industrial buyer your proposal makes a lot of sense. For a hacker (who is often a hobbyist or amateur looking to build something simple quickly) a versatile SoC at $5/unit also makes a lot of sense. I have to say you are hurting yourself with your communication style, because it comes off as very dismissive and arrogant. I bookmarked your presentation in case I need it in the future, but a 4 hour video is not a great way to hook people who are not sure if they are interested or not.
