gbh: Multi vendor philosophy has to be introduced at the design stage.

That works if you're building PCs. It doesn't work so well if you're building something that no one else has built before. No doubt NN can do a better job than it is doing, but for things like the ASICs at the core of the system, whether they are in-sourced or out-sourced they will almost certainly by single-source.

Again, not saying you're wrong, just that it can only be taken so far when you're building leading-edge hardware.
