 Recent applications to NLNet (Oct 2019) are for a test chip in 180nm, 64 bit, single core dual issue, around 300 to 350mhz.  This will provide the confidence to go to higher geometries, as well as be a commercially viable embedded product in its own right.

+# Business Objectives
+
+* the project shall be a hybrid CPU-GPU because if it is not, the
+  complexity involved in developing a split shared-memory CPU-GPU both
+  at a hardware and a software level will be so costly it will jeapordise
+  the project.
+* the project shall be commercial and mass-volume (100 million units
+  and above)
+* the project shall be entirely transparent so that end-users will be
+  able to trust it
+* the source code shall be available at all times for all components
+  for BUSINESS reasons, making development and use of SDKs dead simple
+  and aiding and assisting developers AND BUSINESSES in debugging and thus
+  hugely saving them money.
