As previously said AM do have the funds to carry out such a project.
Agreed, to get the chip production-ready by March we have to assume they do, but they are now actively looking for customers (or Partners as they say) to fund chip runs. Any order will have a 2 or 3 month wait so if a customer decides to wait until the chip is batch-ready i.e. March before they hand over their cash, they will then have a further 2 or 3month wait untill delivery. That's beginning of June.
Chips will be available for ordering once the functionality and yield rate are confirmed with testing on actual chips.
Orders are not yet being taken. Lets get back to this project once they actually start taking orders. They do not have enough funds from reading between the lines/do not wish to commit to funding production past batch 1. Further batches will arrive May or June - or probably beginning of Q3.
