I love Theo's clues... by: MB on 7/24/2009
"...you'll use the FPGA's..."

Well, then essentially means Xilinx or Altera. Xilinx create over 50% of FPGAs. Altera creates about 25%. It's probably one of those two.

Xilinx uses Samsung and Toshiba fabs, which are part of IBM's Common Platform Alliance (CPA). Guess who else is part of that group?

Altera uses TSMC...

Either/or. Either GF will aid Samsung/Toshiba with the Xilinx load, not asinine considering Samsung is starting to mass produce 40nm DDR3, or Altera is jumping from the ship of TSMCs 40nm process, with the help from GF's new exec.

Considering the almost scornful rivalry between the two FPGA companies and their past relationship of keeping to different fab techs (Xilinx used to use UMC) I'm going to go with Xilinx.

It is not Nvidia.
Who can it be??????? by: Anonymous on 7/24/2009
I will go out on a limb and say it's Freescale Semi. Being that their CFO used to work for AMD. He is knowledgeable on their process node and believes they can deliver solid yields, as we shrink dies @ a blazing pace in the coming years. My 2nd guess would be Texas Instruments.
