COLD is bigger than Caselaw Access Project. It's over 8 million cases vs 6.9 on case.law.
Please let me know how you find using the data and if you'd like to see any additions or changes!

ARM is not open... You can license the IP.

But the point is that manufacturing has become commodified. If TSMC doesn't work out, there are other fab companies to use.

Based on your qualification of who's silicon it is, AMD, Broadcom, Marvell, MediaTek, Nvidia, STMicroelectronics, and Qualcomm do not manufacture chips... Even IBM uses TSMC. That's a lot of the CPU silicon shipping right now.
The market has changed, and most CPU vendors don't fab their own chips anymore. The IP is in the chip design. Are you saying TSMC designed the M1?

I was taught basic counting, addition, and subtraction using a finger-abacus system called Chisanbop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chisanbop
Now I'm plagued by off-by-one errors in my mental math, particularly when it comes to intervals. If you ask me how many days there are between now and Christmas, I will be uncertain about the answer unless I individually count them all off on my fingers.
