Non-exclusive blueprint-usage rights sold as a gift raiser. Pay the asking price now; receive your own AES-256 Blu-ray copy of the complete engineering package when first silicon ships. Non-exclusive on purpose: multiple patrons may pledge; each receives their own copy; the IP, package program and routing pipeline stay with the inventor.
The essay
A $7B card, built one wafer at a time
People read a seven-billion-dollar price on a product page and either laugh or look away. I would rather they looked straight at it. The number is not a joke and it is not a boast — it is what the AutoPhi card is worth, written on the page so anyone can see it.
No loan to pay back, no board seat to give up, no clock running down on when you get what you paid for. The clock runs on the fab. Pledge the asking price on any one of the five pieces below; your copy of the engineering package comes back on a Blu-ray when first silicon ships.
