Since I know what I'm talking about, and I have researched the subject of the custom chip technology myself many years ago (1999), I feel I am well placed to point out the flaws in your idea. BEAUSE the technology is old it means there are very few FABs that can build the chips. Modern chips use a very technology to old one, you can't even use the same gate layouts anymore due to different capacitances! If you read what I'm trying to say, you will realise I have nothing against the idea, but your flaw is in the implementation.
I'm not trolling.
No, he's not trolling, he just know what he's talking about. It is a nice idea, but there are huge technical obsticles preventing it. It's been explained many times by [CBM engineer] Dave Haynie, so I've just googled to quote him and it actually brought back a post I made on this very subject at the beginning of the year. You can read it

Thanks,
