Ignoring flexibility and cost/performance, this may be a sign that rapid chip fab turnaround times are possible. These were made by Pragmatic Semiconductor [1], who claim they can make chips within 48 hours and deliver within 4 weeks (likely due to their use of unconventional materials). Traditional silicon fabs, including trailing-edge foundries and TSMC, take 2-9 months. I do wish they'd emphasized this instead of flexibility.

Yeah but traditional silicon fabs aren't making 12k gate chips.

What's the turn around time on 12k gate chips from a traditional fab?
