"The company Microsoft and DoD have collaborated earlier as well, and it has been going on for the past 40 years. their combined efforts were directed towards bringing commercial innovation to the national security community.

A group of companies was headed by Microsoft previously to develop the design capabilities that could achieve the DoD’s mission priorities. This step was the first component of their new collaborative project.

In the second phase, they will develop custom integrated chips and System on a Chip (SoC) with “lower power consumption, improved performance, reduced physical size, and improved reliability for application in DoD systems.”

"the chips will comprise mission-critical applications, with cloud, AI, and machine learning-enabled automation, security, and quantifiable assurance."

That's a tall order for one chip!

"reduced physical size" - I guess that rules out 28 nm chips - pity 'cause we've got the low power, improved performance bit sewn up, along with AI, ML, security.
