    I’m unsurprised that they have the tech. Whether or not their process has a high enough yield to be commercially viable remains to be seen, however.

      More to the point, it’s good that there exists an alternative to the ARM+Qualcomm platform, for commerical as well as technological competition. Natsec-based sledgehammer measures probably aren’t an efficient way to achieve this, but oh well.
