Yes, but it was part of India Specific enhancements right? That cost us a non-trivial amount of $$$. My reply was to viewtopic.php?p=2658743#p2658743, where he implied that we having to pay Boeing to update their library makes Apache a bad decision.

Fourth, investing in U.S.-based manufacturing would offer them tariff exemptions.

Don’t think there is a floor, just that making hardened chips that can withstand cosmic radiation is harder with smaller lithography

"32 nm" from somebody who is in the know.

Afaik, nothing below 65nm have been tested for space use. 180 looked high as I was honestly expecting a 90nm process.
