I work for a smallish company that makes chips.
FPGA is hugely cheaper than an ASIC for the quantities you are talking
about. A "shuttle", meaning small quantity of sample chips on a die
shared with other companies, still costs tens of thousands of dollars.
And I think that my company only gets on

How many gates do you need?
It's not because the eval boards you find everywhere are expensive that
FPGA's are. Low-cost ones go from 10 to 70 USD depending on the gate
count. A bargain compared to an ASIC solution as long as the quantities
are

You want an ASIC fabricated? I don't think they do cheap. What's
wrong with FPGAs?

Ok so I've written a Go based processor in VHDL and seeking someplace
*preferably cheap* to burn it into hardware. Any recommendations?
Oh and btw did I mention CHEAP.. this is purely a 100% hobby and I'm poor.
So *cheap* is probably more important than time and output as long as it
acts like the V
