Traditional chip development costs:
  • • Design Team: $5-10 million annually
  • • EDA Tools: $1-2 million annually
  • • Prototype Fabrication: $2-5 million
  • • Total Project Cost: $15-30 million
ChipForge alternative:
  • • Challenge Rewards: $50,000-500,000
  • • Validation Costs: $10,000-50,000
  • • Integration Effort: $100,000-500,000
  • • Total Project Cost: $200,000-1 million
This 10-30x cost reduction democratizes access to custom silicon, enabling new applications and business models previously impossible.
