     @arstechnica in the early part of my semiconductor physics career, I worked on a "shrunk" process that achieved a 1.4 micron gate length. We've come a long way!

     @arstechnica even if Intel were to win they would pair it with a companion motherboard chipset that is absolute shit as they have done repeatedly for the last forty years. They’d insist that you install their warp drive into a Ford Pinto

     @arstechnica I can’t even afford a 180nm tape-out!
