Re: Closed CPU's and Fabs Untrustworthy

[juan]

        so after some basic searching (showing how limited my
        knowledge is) I learned that 

        * sun designed (mass manufactured?) open source processors

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSPARC 
        
        * sun was eaten by oracle (I knew oracle controlled java, I
          never bothered to check why...)

        * fixed costs for having a modern cheap mass produced start at
          2 million dollars?
