    Now? FPGAs have been a thing for decades and are the closest thing I can see to getting custom chips made without massive investments.

      Yup. But was thinking more of ultra-small-run ARM or RISC-V processors. Be cool if we ever get there.

        You can build a risc core using an fpga. Plenty of people have done that.

        Performance will probably be an issue.
