I rang Grose earlier and asked for a portion of his finest chips with ketchup and mayonaise...

...imagine my surprise when he screamed down the phone that "We're not that kind of fooking chip shop !"

Dear me... temper temper young man...

But I guess there's already another set of GloFo's.

To hell with silicon, that's old hat. Time to move on with "Graphene on Insulator" or GOI!

And why stop at 22nm, when boffins have already prototyped at 1nm!

Ahhh.. my shorts are swelling as I dream of it, 1nm GOI!

Now that Last Few Steps in Scale are coming in, Global did well. Kept Multi billion dollar engineering Fab near its' Side & Best of ALL, Needs Friends. Signed:Paladin.

22nm and beyond ...
means that you have to have deep, very deep pockets to finance this technology.

Ok, the Arabs have deep pockets, but ... they will ask for a higher stake in the company in turn for more cash.

Dollar billion 10 will be pocket change for future semiconductor technologies.

How many chips will you have to sell in order to get the money invested + profit back?

And you better make sure, the chip is working well, a revision b will be very costly ...
