Yeah. That’s a very good point, something I haven’t really thought of. I think we could also invest more in semiconductor design, both in making more sophisticated designs and in making semiconductor design accessible to more people (both of which are already happening). I’m talking about “design” in contrast to manufacturing/process concerns. If the process changes slow down a bit, I wonder if we can get ASICs with lower NRE.
