true, but as the level of technology increases, so does the initial investment (number of engineers, equipment, and money). I think BB has the capability to come out with a competitive chip right now but i dont thinik it would be high-end. i mean 21 engineers to design a 120M transistor chip?

The problem isn't design, is verification. That's what needs large amounts of people.
