For those who are worried about LWLG sales cycles:

I asked Google AI
"what is the production cycle for a new cpu"

The design process for a new CPU can take anywhere from 1–10 years. A silicon wafer can contain hundreds of microprocessors after more than 300 manufacturing steps.
Here are some other steps in the production cycle:
Single crystal material growth
Wafer dicing
Cleaning and handling
Photolithography
Photomask fabrication
Photoresist coating
Exposure
Development
Cleaning and inspection
CPUs can stay on the market for 24 months or less, and manufacturers often release new models with more features and cache.
