Would you agree that rying to stay on the bleeding edge is a lot harder and costs a lot more than waiting for a technology to mature a little? And in silicon, it gets even harder and costs even more with each new node?

Well yes, of course. Up until now at least, it's paid off. Those bleeding edge products have brought premium prices and their cost has been lowered, but that may not be holding much longer. It's no mystery that Intel's yields aren't what they were but I don't think the foundries are any better off. We need euv and it's not here. Who knows what's going to happen?
