It's 1990, maybe 1999, in embedded land.

"genuinely curious" is the new one I see everywhere lately.

It was a forced acquisition, iirc they made promises to Altera to get them to use their foundry, failed to keep those promises and could either get sued and embarrassed or just buy Altera outright for about what they were worth before the deal.

No, there was a DIY diode prob with a headline number high enough, but I think he said real world performance would be about 8ghz, that's only part of the problem anyway. I had a look, I can't find the forum post or the podcast he was on (amphour). Either rent an appropriate USB analyzer or scope. If you just want to verify the speed of your consumer equipment look for a software solution to measure throughput (there is significant protocol overhead). At the required speed you can't even use BNCs.

If they didn't copy the peripheral blocks, then all they did was implement the ARM IP just like ST Micro did in a way to be pin to pin compatible with the STM32 chips. Happy to learn otherwise. I wouldn't put them in a real product for many reasons but this is not one of them.

How many times do we need to fight the same battle? Where I live Netflix has a fast lane and from 6:30pm to 10:30pm every night my internet is unusable.

3000y is far too little to do the dev work to bring the software up to par

imo the failure to ramp up production is the unforgivable part

For a guy with a private jet, Sacks has the worldliness of someone who has never had a passport. As soon as the conversation ventures outside the USA he makes basic factual errors but delivers it with all the confident bluster we have come to expect from VCs.
