THis snip...
QuickLogic is bullish about a market for using Alexa to add voice control to systems using the EOS sensor hub it started shipping in November. So far three smartphones, one wearable and one IoT device are using the chip.
3 Smartphones?

13 Apr. 2017 SMIC Advanced Technology Workshop Shanghai, Chinadone18 Apr. 2017 SMIC Advanced Technology Workshop Santa Clara, CA, USyesterday and onward to9 May. 2017 SMIC Advanced Technology Workshop Hsinchu, TaiwanHsinchu is a city in northern Taiwan, southwest of the capital city of Taipei. It’s known for its ornate Hsinchu City God (Cheng Huang) Temple, lined with food stalls. Close by is Yin Hsi East Gate, a 19th-century structure once used as an entrance to the city. Hsinchu Zoo houses hippos, Bengal tigers and Malay bears. Southeast of the center, trails cross the forested Shibajian (18 Peaks) Mountain.QUIK is the traveling gnome of eFPGA?As a part owner I like these sort of postcards! This company is small, but very global, I like these tech road shows as a part owner A LOT more than I like those aimed at the street-like the Roth type ones: but .....to each there own,

So consider that from 40 to 22 gives us 60% of new area...
And then to 12 another 50% after that.
So as a part owner of this business being on the RIGHT side of Moore's law is fun, the anxiety of watching an AP suck up the great Apical algo is banished thankfully for good. QUIK will add more engines toward that word heterogeneous computing. Only IF it is ubiquitous will it get hardened...
A FEW APP companies are HUGE enough to have proprietary engines of their own?. say
Flexible Facebook engine, to partition within the SoC.
I also believe technologies / companies signed up for FDXelerator will be available on 12nm FDX too.
Why do I reread this often?
This week I am NOT looking at it from my small point of view, but pretending I am a Tier 1 MAJOR app company with a new product division who has a vision of the future... I WOULD NOT use anything that did NOT scale toward that horizon....
Now QUIK CAN use 22 and then 12 to add a LOT of stuff ... the SoC for that ultimate vision can barely be glimpsed from the rooms that QUIK has just entered, after waiting a long time for the invite.
Use any incremental info to let it sink in that QUIK IS worth a LOT more today than ever before.
