Yeah, I read this last night in the Blackarrow thread.

Assuming now that you are indeed Jez San (Grin), can you tell us if the 60 day turn-around post tape-out is an insurmountable absolute these days? I'm thinking in the context that Blackarrow are actually based in Shenzhen and so have fewer "cultural barriers" (read: cultural advantage) to getting chips fabricated and delivered quicker?
