Hi folks I just got an email last night from Oklahoma from some crypto miners who wanna print microchips for building miners...
if they have several tens of billions of dollars available once converted out of {insert-currency-of-choice}, then they can buy a Foundry, and release the PDK just like Skywater did.
caveat: that's only if it is *their* PDK - a number of Foundries actually buy in their PDK and process from *other Foundries*, such as the India Lab, which bought the Israeli Tower Semi process (Tower Semi is currently being bought by Intel).
Global Foundries was available lock stock and barrel for 4.5 billion a few years ago.
