Xilinx launches ‘industry’s first’ 20 nanometer space-grade FPGA chip
If it’s not finFET then a non production mask set is much less than $50 million in 2023.
Also, keep in mind maskless lithography has been used commercially for roughly ten years now. And it’s been in Universities for significantly longer.
My main issue is semiconductor lines are fragile beasts that need constant tinkering. So if the system requires full time staff to keep running, that’s going to be really expensive.
Is the $2000/prototype really the thing that's keeping the market closed. If we assume it takes one engineer one year to spec/design/test one IC, compared to $2K, it's still going to be that engineer's salary that dominates the cost of the project. Even at non US rates.
The thing that's keeping IC design closed is IC design is really hard and tool chain installs are very specific to a particular design. Even if I gave you my design files. It's unlikely you could turn that into an ASIC as is. I'm not saying the tools have to work this way, I'm just saying that today, they do. Even if you're doing a digital design of an ASIC. The verilog is just one piece of what you need.
In just officers per capita the US more or less middle of the pack.

That’s just the one I’m familiar with. I know there are others.
Mostly they use MPWs now though so one can’t visit the site. But the price is pretty low. One can get ~100 qty 10 mm^2 packaged parts for maybe $20K
Unless you care about Mac GPU performance.
"Overall, Apple's claim of up to 20% better performance seems to be right on the money, as is normally the case with these things."

Also Wu had this to say, “The iPhone 15 Pro is the best camera available for its size, and while it can’t replace bigger dedicated systems, it can create images which still push my own artistic vision and display them at gallery quality and sizes, and I was shocked how good the prints were.”
Pretty decent endorsement really.
260 million disposable vapes
30 million LED, solar and decorative lights
26 million cables
10 million USB sticks
7 million cordless headphones
Maybe USB-C helps with the cables, I’m guessing many of those are failed cables though. In any case, I don’t think it will address disposable vapes or decorative lights.
Anyway, I dispute the 95% of gadgets number. I don’t think we can be too surprised disposable vapes ended up in the trash.
Honestly these things come and go, as they do in all big cities. Adapting to change, especially for large groups of people, is alway rough and tumble. I’m sure they’ll get it figured out eventually. Just in time for it to change again…
Also, most residents as Chicago disagree with your assessment of their housing affordability.
