No worries, it's easier to look at the announcement from August and compare that to December and now today's:
August 2020 - 2nd platform lot to add transistors "Significantly, the outcome of development discussions is that the Second Platform Lot will be fabricated tocontain dense memory arrays with transistors that are able to select memory cells.This is a major strategic decision to better ensure success in 2021 when, based on the results of this Second Platform Lot, 4DS and its partners will potentially progress to fabricate wafers with all the control logic necessary to read and write selected bits and bytes, and therefore be able to operate as a fully functional megabit memory."
December 2020 - still stating the need to analyse 2nd platform lot before going full MB chip
"As stated in the Company’s ASX announcement dated 28 October 2020, the analysis of Second Non-Platform Lotand Second Platform Lot will potentially enable 4DS and its partners to progress to fabricate wafers with all thecontrol logic necessary to read and write selected bits and bytes, and thus be able to operate as a fully functionalmegabit memory.
"Today's announcement - subtle but crucially putting full control logic on 2nd platform lot, hence significant update & TH.
"The Second Platform Lot is using imec’s memory platform, and contains dense memory arrays with the control logic necessary to read and write selected bits and bytes."
"The results from the analysis of the Second Platform Lot are expected to pave the way for 4DS and its partners to pursue their strategic objective of fabricating wafers with chips that operate as fully functional megabit memories, and which have been produced using state of the art industry fab equipment. If successful, this may bring 4DS closer to its 2021 objectives to achieve a potential corporate transaction."
Corporate Objective - Sell 4DS this year!
