This project isn’t about designing CPUs, so “running a foundry” is irrelevant. They’re working to build a laptop that’ll run an off-the-shelf POWER-based CPU, which is complex but still massively simpler than designing and building the CPUs themselves.

Correction: I meant PowerPC, not POWER. The latter is not likely to fit comfortably in a laptop. If you want a POWER-based workstation, check out the Talos II from Raptor Computing.
Actually the PC suffix has been mostly dropped. See e.g. [1] which is much lower end than what would fit in a laptop.
