Seems all of the data that we gathered over the last two attempts was received with mixed reviews. The financial side - was poked at some, but seems to slowed any work, for awhile. “That Project” has been put on life support.

I have already lined up new program manager and team to do the work. If in fact this becomes real - I will need new reviewers. Would hate to have any jaded eyes on this one!

There were a TON of unforeseen things with the 90nm node. "Those Projects" happen because we can't see the future.

I think these types of projects get swept under the rug, which is why you hear so little about them -- and they get tried again the same way to fail again the same way. Ever hear of the project to "bake a pie and a cake in the same pan?" It was Intel's ARM 'X-Scale' project with onboard NOR. Of course, we just sold ARM to Marvell, x86 everywhere!!
