Being able to create custom chips in your garage is still many years away from being possible... note that the MIT team working on this is aiming for a $50K price for a garage fab, not a lot of people will be able to afford that (startups, yes).
I think what the author is trying to say is that in the meantime the whole custom chip thing is in trouble.
- hughprime 17y agoIt's cheap enough that anyone with a conceivable need for a chip fab can easily afford one. Regardless of what the article says (it'll be just like youtube!), I can't imagine why random individuals would want to create their own chips, even if they could.
