You raise an interesting question. For the most part, CMOS scaling has dominated for the past 25 years or so--which has meant that investments related to carrying a specific volume design forward (e.g. x86) has dominated. Lower-volume and lower-capitalized designs just weren&#x27;t able to ride the same curve. But in a world where CMOS process scaling doesn&#x27;t dominate, it raised the possibility that more specialized designs may play a larger role.
