Jim Keller's startup wants to mass-produce chip fabs from Texas — a semiconductor expert calls it smoke and mirrors (tomshardware.com)
Fab2 now runs three sites — a 120,000 sq ft Austin HQ, a 30,000 sq ft Lockhart "fab fab," and the original SF garage fab — chasing the idea of mass-producing small chip fabs rather than chips, co-founded by Jim Keller and DIY-fab pioneer Sam Zeloof.
A semiconductor insider is unimpressed: no fundamental manufacturing advance, likely electron-beam lithography that suits prototypes, not volume — and why not just verify in simulation?
