Re The platform to support such devices, due next year, is code-named Chimera

I hope we can avoid the "project she-goat" tag<gg>.

chimera also chimaera (kì-mîr'e, kî-) noun
Genetics.
1. An organism consisting of two or more tissues of different
genetic composition, produced as a result of mutation, grafting, or the mixture of cell populations from different zygotes.
2. An organism produced by genetic engineering, in which DNA from distinct parent species is combined to produce an individual with a double chromosome complement.

[Middle English chimere, Chimera, from Old French, from Latin chimaera, from Greek khimaira, chimera, she-goat.]
