How long before indie devs can make their own custom processor chips?
Now? FPGAs have been a thing for decades and are the closest thing I can see to getting custom chips made without massive investments.
Yup. But was thinking more of ultra-small-run ARM or RISC-V processors. Be cool if we ever get there.
You can build a risc core using an fpga. Plenty of people have done that.
Performance will probably be an issue.
