   Also, soft cpus without strict performance and power requirements are really easy to implement with modern toolchains. In one quarter you can take an undergraduate who doesn't even know digital design and have them make a cpu core as

   > how slow/resource intensive it is compared to what? It's not like all the other EDA tools are really fast or not resource intensive. For smaller design firms I would think things like FireSim [1] would be a significant adv

   In hardware everything boils down to volume and NRE. If the design is low volume then minimizing NRE, which is mostly set by engineering hours, makes sense. At low volume, the semiconductor unit cost is mostly irrelevant so you can potenti
