I fail to see how they said the foundry said the CHIPS performed better than expected when they don't have any chips?
In polite circles, its fashionable to say someone 'Mis-spoke'
Or maybe it was the simulation results that encouraged them to say this
Or maybe it was the need for some positive news
It is hard to interpret anything they say or do kindly after all the forum bannings, post-facto editing of terms and conditions and other company statements on the forum, deletion of customer posts on the forum, lack of good will towards customers regarding refunds, absence of transparency into development, missed deadlines etc etc etc
But who knows, maybe Dexcel told them the chips turned out better than expected ...
