If you wanna make your own open-source chip, just Google it. Literally. Web giant says it'll fab them for free • The Register
https://www.theregister.com/2020/07/03/open_chip_hardware/ is it 10 square millimeters, or 10 millimeters squared?

hilarious - the jew-US nazis from google-NSA are offering to 'fab' your NSA-backdoored chip for 'free'. It's touching to see how the google nazis stick to their foundational principle : "everything we do is evil" Thanks Jim for keeping us up to date with the latest trends in technofascist propaganda.

It's amazing how nonsensical this sounds when all the slurs/slams are taken out and replaced with neutral terms. Granted, I'm not sure I'd trust Google with something like this (I actually disable Google Chrome on my Android phones and use Firefox instead), but at least I can say this without needless anti-Semitic slurs and incorrect implications of connections with a political party from WWII-era Germany. -- Shawn K.

I hope you're aware that basically android = google/alphabet... so disabling chrome on Android won't protect you much from 'evil' google...

I'm aware of that... until I can afford a Librem 5, Android phones are really the only viable option, as iOS (Apple) is far worse in terms of user freedom. It does keep Google away from my browsing history, though, even if otherwise it's mainly a symbolic gesture. I get a kick out of how Google tries to warn you that your phone won't work right if you disable Chrome, too... -- Shawn K.

For Google, it's a good bargain... they collect new designs of processors for free and for them the fabrication cost (a few thousands $) is like a drop of water in the ocean. This said I doubt this will be a massive production. First there are selective criteria. They will not build anything. It has to be relatively quality design so probably they'll only produce a few dozens per year. Seriously a talented chip designer cannot find $2,000 to manufacture their own prototype?
