    The title is misleading.

    First, it is about old gen chips. Maybe 45nm+.

    Second, the definition of IC/chip is quite broad. It can be very (relatively) simple one like a 555 timer IC to extra complicated MCU IC.

      How is that misleading, most chips in use are older chips. Bleeding edge chips are a tiny percent of overall global chip usage.

        When normal people look at the title with “chips”, they are most likely think of “computer chips”. However, that’s what not the article is about.

        The use of the term is correct, and indeed chips are used in more places that most people doesn’t think of. Still, it is misleading as it doesn’t consider what most people think what “chip” is, bleeding edge or not.

      How is it missleading,when it doesnt claim they are latest gen chips? It’s still a chip no matter how you spin it.
