I wasn't aware that Amiga Inc. or CUSA had any plans to get into chip design, much less manufacture. Can you connect the dots for those of us who are less imaginative?

Of course none of this is much better than free fantasy right now, given that the technology is likely years away from commercialization and even further away from being affordable *enough* for "our" use.


Agreed. In fact I don't get the impression from the article that this is about making chip manufacture possible for your typical man-on-the-street, or even small businesses. The title even says: "Custom ICs in small numbers to be cheap as (normal) chips". I read this as, this will reduce cost overhead for small batches, but that's about it.
