Customers often have to settle for an off-the-shelf chip that doesn't perfectly fit their needs when building products because they can't afford to build a custom chip.
1:26:38 - 1:27:41 (01:02)
Summary
Customers often have to settle for an off-the-shelf chip that doesn't perfectly fit their needs when building products because they can't afford to build a custom chip. However, reducing the cost of designing chips means easier access to chips that are a better fit for their needs as technology continues to evolve.
