QS,
What is the current status of US3? Any insight? Ed said
a tapeout planned for this or next week. But from my
knowledge. tapeouts take 1 to 2 months for the chip to come
back from FAB. Then power on, bring-up. May show there are
more bugs and another tapeout may be required (or not?)
Also, Scott Mcneally in conf call said, R&D expenses will
go up as company goes through alpha and beta on US3.
Alpha and beta cycles take 1 year minimum. How could the
project be in alpha debug stage now be able to ship in June?
Something doesn't add up. Let me know where this project is
