Silicon’s Believe It or Not! The series!
Silicon’s Believe It or Not!
Welcome to Silicon’s Believe It or Not! — a new series chronicling the most jaw-dropping claims in the semiconductor startup world. In an era where PowerPoint slides race ahead of tapeouts, and simulation results are treated like shipping milestones, we’re here to inject a little engineering reality (and a lot of skepticism) into the conversation.
Each entry will spotlight architectures so bold they defy physics, compilers so magical they defy causality, and roadmap promises so ambitious they defy your calendar. We'll celebrate creativity, mock delusion, and dissect the fine line between innovation and hallucination.
From forgotten patents to benchmark theater, we'll explore the myths, the memes, and the million-dollar mistakes that define silicon storytelling today. These aren’t just technical postmortems — they’re cultural x-rays of a field where ambition often outpaces accountability.
Let the parade of promises begin.
