Spondoolies' next gen will still be using 28nm and is months away. AM have always said Feb-March for mass production of their next gen chips so they might already have them.
Can you say anything about the expected development time for gen 3?
Are we looking at weeks, months, years?
Few months. We have two parallel efforts, each with different risk / reward and timeframe.
It's not around the corner, we need to squeeze the most from 28, since we don't do FinFET yet.
The mass production time of BE300 in terms of chip-out date is February to March, 2015.
