How long do you think it should take to fab?
28nm is pretty cutting edge (many, many steps) and has a number of customers (competing for manufacturing line time).
It's a bummer, but it's a long process. Not to mention, each new chip you spin is $$$, so it's not like you would iteratively fab many prototypes, even if you had a fast turnaround time.
- wmf 12y agoI've heard that a fab run itself is 6 weeks, so maybe 3 months including packaging sounds reasonable. 28nm Bitcoin ASICs have been done in that time frame. OTOH, if you can't get the fab time below 11 months maybe you should spend more like 24 months on the design.
