recently micron released a memory based processor/state-machine architecture called "automata". This might be a good sign that the problem you mention will be solved.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoThat was a really neat processor. That's what happens when hardware vendors look at FSM problems their way instead of support software developer's way (eg C lang). The best bet might for those using memory fab tech to haggle one of the fabs to do MPW's on, say, one production line. Fab as a whole can keep cranking out tons of memory chips, new players can crank out theirs, and any risk is very limited. The problem has already been solved outside memory fabs several times over. The memory fabs just need to take some steps, themselves. If I were them, I'd push I.P. vendors to follow path of Micron and Venray just to get more fab customers.
